[QUOTE="TaranTheWanderer, post: 8002435, member: 15882"] Yesterday, I briefly read the first couple posts regarding simultaneous initiative and decided to try it with my group and they absolutely loved it as well. They thought the combat was much more fluid and fights actually went quicker. [B]@[USER=6787650]FormerlyHemlock[/USER] [/B]I do have some questions, though that maybe I missed the details of in this 200+ post thread. 1. How do you resolve things like, "I run in to attack enemy" and enemy, likewise says, "I run in to attack PC" On a tabletop, do they just meet halfway? Do they attack at the same time and both take damage? Is there no way to finish off your foe before they get a strike in? I was just running it that both people get hit and whoever got around to moving their token first is where the attacks took place. 2. How do you resolve attacks of Opportunity that might pop up. PC: "I back up and shoot" ENemy: "I close and attack" Does the enemy close and get his attack and then get an AoO as the PC withdraws to shoot? Or does the PC move away out of reach of the enemy as the enemy closes? Is this an instance where initiative should be rolled? Can the shooting PC decide to not withdraw and just drop his bow and attack with a sword? I'll read through the thread again to double check. Maybe I was just doing it wrong? Edit: I just noticed this is a Necro thread.... still, can anyone answer my questions [/QUOTE]
