[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9866285, member: 23751"] And it's not even just that. I can have a non-surprised PC walk 10 feet into a room and see 10 orcs who are 60 feet in. Initiative is rolled and the orcs win. All 10 of them can move and dash past the PC and cut him off from being able to get 10 feet back to the door. In a simultaneous round that would be pretty much impossible. The PC would see the orcs start to move towards him and would turn and get the hell out of dodge. Depending on speeds and reaction time he might get out with some of the orcs right on his rear, but he'd make it out. On the one hand D&D rounds are supposed to be simultaneous, but on the other hand with situations similar to the above being fairly common, D&D rounds cannot be simultaneous. The best solution in my opinion is to hold your nose and just not try to make sense of it. [/QUOTE]
