[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 8407073, member: 6795602"] [USER=71699]@clearstream[/USER] It would probably help if I take your example, make some slight adjustments and try to show what I envision. [B]Round 1 [/B]declarations (P leads) [B]P1 (Barbarian)[/B] has no information: they declare in the dark that they will move and attack N1 [B]P2 (Warlock)[/B] knows what P1 declared: often dropping one foe is better than dividing attacks, so they declare [S]move and attack N1[/S] attack and then fall back [B]N1 (Goblin)[/B] knowing what P1 and P2 declared: they are going to dodge [B]N2 (Goblin)[/B] knows everyone's declarations: they are safe to move and attack P2 [B]Round 1[/B] initiative rolled [B]P1[/B] = 20 [B]P2[/B] = 10 [B]N2 [/B]= 5 [B]N1 [/B]= 1 [B]DM Abjucation[/B] Before P1's turn he has advanced up to N1. P2 is still looking for a good opening to shoot his EB. N2 has advanced almost to P2. N1 hasn't been able to set up a proper defense to the large barbarian that's just rushed up to him yet. DM: P1 it's your. P1: I recklessly attack N1. DM: you hit! [B]DM Abjucation[/B] Just a moment later the barbarian must have knocked N1 off balance. P2 you've found your opening and just in the nick of time. N2 is still close but not right on top of you yet. N1 is even less sure of what defensive posture he should take than ever. DM: P2 it's your turn P2: I cast EB at N1. DM: you miss. [B]DM Abjucation[/B] The very next moment P2 starts falling back as fast as he can from N2. N2 sees him running away. N1 is still in the same predicament DM to N2 (himself): To puruse you'll have to give up your action this round to dash. Do you wish to do that? N2: For this exercise the answer is no as the Goblin wants to be in position to fall back and help his friend. (Presumably the goblin could have pulled out a bow and still attacked P2, but for this exercise he doesn't do that either). DM: Your turn is over [B]DM Abjucation[/B] N1 finally finds the right defensive stance and no other openings are found this round. That's more of how I envision this system going. You can see how the fiction gets established up to the moment right before the characters initiative. [/QUOTE]
