I have a group with players that enjoy the tactic game. they don't have problems with house rules, they even proposed some. but they also want to have advise of the house rules.
I have a little problem understanding when you are flat Footed when a surprise round occurs.
in the initiative section they say that you are flat Footed till your first REGULAR TURN. as a regular turn I understand a turn with move and standard actions. In a surprise round you only have one. So if you act in the surprise round you are still flat Footed till your first complete turn.
the flat Footed condition says you are flat Footed till you act in combat. I interpret surprise round as part of the combat.
So, are you FF if you have acted in the surprise round but not in the regular initiative? If so, how can I interpret that narratively?
I am missing something?
the most "normal" thing to do imo is that you are not FF if you have acted in the surprise round. But I want more opinions since I'm not pretty sure on how to deal with this.
