Since everything else is not static, it becomes very difficult to determine the impact.Statistically, winning initiative will make a difference, as postulated, but calculating the amount of difference would be a nightmare because there are so many variables. The best I can suggest is that each +1 to initiative will result in a +5% higher damage output in the long run, because you're 5% more likely to get a blow/spell in on the final round of combat. However, that's over the long run and I wouldn't expect to see that in reality except of a very long period of play.</blockquote>
