[QUOTE="DMDanW, post: 4888731, member: 55230"] [sblock=My thoughts] I like that idea as well. The only problem I see with it is, for example, my last post and Rens last post. I began my post well before Ren did, but he managed to sneak his in before I actaully submitted mine (I worked on it on and off for about half an hour). In cases like that, I would have to redo my post since Ren snuck in and changed the situation. No big deal - I'll just have to speed up my posting. [/sblock] [sblock=Further thoughts] Of course, if a DM wanted to add a ton of 'realism' to combat encounters then he'd make such posts stand. For example, Bob the dragonborn is going to breath fire on an area and as he submits his post he sees that Jim the rogue has moved into the area to attack the same group of targets (darn Jim beat out his slow posting). Oops, too bad for Jim cause he now gets covered in fire breath too. I used to have a DM that ran combats like that where you'd write down your actions on a peice of paper and submit them and then the DM would look them over and explain the chaos that had unfolded. Init determined who went first, but yor actions stood now matter what happened. It was crazy. [/sblock] [/QUOTE]
