If the bonus's are farther apart, or if there are three and the highest is far apart from the others, I will use the lower bonus (or the middle bonus in the case of 3 different bonus) and roll twice choosing the higher roll.Sometimes, however, if there is a leader/elite etc and I feel like they have intelligent help/minions and are in territory that is home to them (in other words, if I feel like they have an advantage) I will simply toll using the higher initiative (that of the leader/elite/etc).With all that said, I don't worry too much about it. It's better to quickly do it and move on.We rarely use readied actions - at least not during combat etc.But in the event it is used, you don't change the initiative order (in this system). This system works on the assumption that the PC's and mobs are delaying to act as one. Let's say a PC readies to shoot an orc when it gets close... it is triggered, and he shoots.Now, instead of this order...1) Monsters2) PC'sYou would have this...1) Monsters (in front of the trigger)2) PC (who readied and shot)3) Monsters (after the trigger)4) PC's (all the rest)So, when it comes back around to #2, the PC (using this system) should be assumed to delay back to #4, thus getting us back to PCs > Monsters > PCs > Monsters, etc.</blockquote>
