[QUOTE="Miladoon, post: 7174451, member: 6801438"] I agree. I would also take a moment to reevaluate how the current system runs and make a comparison. You might be surprised how the current system is already favoring certain characters. It really boils down to table composition and round dynamics. (Who your players are, and rolling initiative every round over rolling once at the beginning of the encounter) I just want to point out that gaming groups that keep to the current system are not entirely without those qualities when they play. I also wanted to say that I liked your input on the Greyhawk Initiative thread with @[I][B][U][URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=6788312"]Greenstone.Walker[/URL][/U][/B][/I]. I am actually thinking of the Jon Snow Initiative based on your posts. I like the idea of naming the modes: Skirmish - Unrestricted move, action, bonus action - roll 1d6+DEX bonus Stand Fast - No movement, but you take an action and/or bonus action - roll 1d12+DEX Double Quick - Movement only plus Dash, Dodge, Disengage - roll 1d20+DEX EDIT: Pointing out that highest roll goes first.
