Each character gets his allotment for the round - what he would normally get to do on his turn - but other characters can react with their own actions. When characters want to act at the same time, initiative counts determine who goes first. So big, bad orc starts with a big swing, but party fighter wants to attack first as well. Resolve the two attacks in order of initiative scores. Party rogue wants to move to flank the orc, no one feels the need to intervene, so no one else acts. The rogue can sneak attack anyone who a) has a lower initiative score, or b) has used her movement for the round.Someone with a decent shield could get close enough to make an attack...Really though - a dagger being a faster attack makes just as much sense as a dagger being as lethal as a greatsword.  Ask these guys how they feel about weapon speeds:[MEDIA=youtube]vPpW_U9QcHU[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
