[QUOTE="Veril, post: 3728668, member: 33452"] The DM is screwing over casters 100%. If he does this and you don't have the best initiative then Delay your action to the next round in ever single combat that happens. Here's the relevant text on delaying. "Initiative Consequences of Delaying Your initiative result becomes the count on which you took the delayed action. If you come to your next action and have not yet performed an action, you don’t get to take a delayed action (though you can delay again). If you take a delayed action in the next round, before your regular turn comes up, your initiative count rises to that new point in the order of battle, and you do not get your regular action that round. " By delaying to the next round you get to "start" the round, thus, at a cost of 1 action every combat you can stop the DM screwing you over. The loss of 1 action is worth it. Pretty soon everyone will start delaying. And you will get into delay wars. that's when you see how stupid the DM's ruiling is. Using these rules, I would ask if they apply to archers also? If so run up to the archer and hit him. If he moves back 5' and shoots ask for an AoO because he is shooting for the whole round, the fact that he is currently not next to you at the initiative count you determine his action shouldn't deny you an AoO for shooting while next to a melee armed opponent.
