Getting a lower initiative can be taken to represent a fact about the world, just as much as his grid position. Albeit better narrated with language around reasons for being slower.Player: I want to race for the door without hesitation. Rolls badly on initiative.DM: (Correctly avoiding telling player that they in fact did not intend to race to the door without hesitation.) Ugh, you stumble slightly and the orcs race pass you.[EDIT As I see it, the something that made it happen is that the orcs rolled high on initiative. Just as an orc rolling high on an attack can make a hit happen, and subsequently damage.]</blockquote>
