[QUOTE="FANGO, post: 140398, member: 2368"] I would have to agree that initiative is not unbalanced. Although most of my group seems to take it with almost all of their characters, I have many characters that I don't take it with (I should also say that we roll initiative every round in my group, though I don't think this would affect the usefulness of the feat a great deal). However, it can be a whole lot more useful than just going first in the first round. Readied actions are much more useful when you can go first, and a very important part of a battle is being able to decide where you want to fight and where you want your enemies to fight. By going first, you give yourself a tactical advantage that is much greater than just getting off an extra action because you went first, and I think that's where the importance of winning initiative is. So improved initiative is a useful feat, but is definitely not game-breaking or anything. It's fine how it is. [/QUOTE]
