[QUOTE="Coredump, post: 1930859, member: 6939"] huh? In your example, all three would get one attack in each round. Sure, in round 1 F1 goes first, and after that F2 goes first, but that isn't really that big of a deal. I am not sure what you mean by "2 attacks in the same segment." Now, I can see it seeming wrong to actually go up in initiative from delaying an action...but you could just put a limit, that you get +2, or up to your old init, whichever is less. (Granted, a +2 isn't that big of a deal, but without this, you could 'creep' you inititative up each round....) And this *still* only has init alter from delay and Ready, it just changes by a different amount. On the other hand, lots of peolpe take Imp Init for the +4, so a +2 is weak, but perhaps not worthless. I also don't understand the worry about 'bookkeeping'. IMC we still re-roll init for every round, and the bookkeeping is minimal, not sure how this would be that bad. You *already* have to change init order for a delay or Ready, this would just have you change it to a different number. Why is that so much more difficult? I don't have a problem with the feat, except that it seems very weak. [/QUOTE]
