This is the order (called the initiative order) in which they act during each round."Everyone in combat acts sequentially in initiative order, per RAW.I never claimed to narrate anything as a player.  I don't narrate.  I dictate.  The DM is told by me that my PC is crawling, and unless there is a valid in game reason like mind control or something to alter that, the DM is constrained by my declaration and his narration has to include my PC crawling.Why?  What if my PC is insane?  Why can't my insane PC crawl around for the entire combat, or at least as long as it takes creatures to kill him while he does so? You can talk to me after if it's disruptive to your game, but you have no right to change what I tell you my PC does, unless what I am declaring simply isn't possible.</blockquote>
