A member of a group can be surprised even if the other members aren’t.REACTIONS:  Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to take a special action called a reaction. A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else’s.A reaction is a type of action, being surprised prevents you from taking actions or moving, when your first turn is over you can now take a reaction and thus you can act, if you can take actions you are obviously not surprised.I get that people seem to not like how surprise, initiative, and the assassinate ability interact and for those people houseruling a change seems like a great idea to fix it for their games, but trying to say the rules don't tell you when surprise ends is wrong.</blockquote>
