[QUOTE="Hriston, post: 6674960, member: 6787503"] It doesn't say, "able to take a turn". It says, "each participant in the battle". Certainly even someone who is surprised and is being attacked can be said to be participating. It doesn't say, "given the opportunity". It says, "takes a turn". You're adding all this language that's not there to prove your point. It's stretching the meaning of "had a turn" to say that it acknowledges that some participants were denied their movement and actions. It seems to me that "taken a turn" could be, and is, used interchangeably, especially considering the preceding text that describes everyone as taking a turn without exception. I'm also extremely puzzled by your assertion that a creature that takes the Ready action is not taking it's turn. Are you saying that an assassin would get advantage against someone who readies an action in the first round before the assassin attacks if the readied action's trigger hadn't yet been met? What if the creature moved and readied an action? Would it then have taken its turn? [/QUOTE]
