[QUOTE="PallidPatience, post: 2944895, member: 16932"] The only issue I really have with all the people defending the rerolling of initiative every turn is that they keep mentioning their games. At the risk of sounding hostile, we're not discussing your games. If you and your players like it, that's fine. We're not going to stop your using it. However, Goldmoon asked us to give him ammunition to use against a DM who is using that optional rule without any of the fixes that you guys use in your games. He also doesn't keep track of spell durations, except as part of their casters' initiatives, so spells can end early or last longer than usual. At the same time, and Goldmoon can correct me if I'm wrong, the players in that game seem to NOT be having fun. All of these reasons make all of your arguments invalid... WHEN IT COMES TO GOLDMOON'S GAME, which is the issue here. As for me... It would really depend on the kind of game I wanted to play, whether or not I'd want to use a system of rolling every round. It has its benefits for supporting certain styles, but it detracts from others... [/QUOTE]
