[QUOTE="Raven Crowking, post: 2944947, member: 18280"] That's true. And it's also true that I would agree that using a d20 (as opposed to a d10) makes a significant time difference. The d10 does not appreciably slow combat when called down (each player acting on his "segment" ala the older editions), and speeds play IME due to player attention. It may be an abberation, I admit, but this system seems to make my players able to plan faster and better. But those examples had game effects that could also occur in other ways in the game. Nor did those examples show that rolling init each round caused a higher occurance of lethality than, say, rolling damage (as opposed to average use) or requiring saving throws. IME, lethality to the PCs is not appreciably increased. I would say "not increased at all" save only that there might be very, very minor effects that I haven't noticed. A good attack roll (crit) or a good damage roll is far, far more effective. Finally, my evidence occurs every time I play. RC [/QUOTE]
