[QUOTE="Ycore Rixle, post: 143574, member: 675"] *nods* Exactly. This is why initiative is relevant even after the first round. No matter which of Mr. High Initiative's actions you call "extra," the point is he may very well have an extra action, and this has an impact on the combat as a whole, not just the first round. It absolutely does matter who went in what order previously, because later actions are predicated on the earlier ones. As I said in my first post, I don't think improved initiative is unbalanced. I just wanted to point out that initiative is relevant even after the roll in the first round. Very relevant, in fact, as one extra action in a combat that lasts five or fewer rounds represents at least a 20% increase in opportunities. And of couse over time and multiple battles, the player whose character rolls high on initiative will get to "go" many more times than a player whose character rolls lower. [/QUOTE]
