Increase Initiative

[EvilGM]

I'm looking for ways to increase an initiative score.

So far I've got:

constant
Improved Initiative feat: +4
+ Dexterity: +1 per 2 pts
Blooded feat: +2 (PGtF 35)
Aggressive talent: +2 (UA 87)

situational
Nerveskitter spell: +5 (SCmp 146)

There is the epic feat as well, but that is a ways off.

Any help would be appreciated!

Halflings can add their Wis bonus with a feat. Iajutsu Masters can add Charisma bonus.

 

[Blood Jester]

Thug [Forgotten Realms CS]
+2 Initiative and +2 to Intimidate

 

[stonegod]

Warforged with the 1st level fighter substitution level (+2 Init)

One of the guerilla feats from Heroes of Battle gives another +1.

 

[stonegod]

Quick Recon (CAdv): +2 Init

 

[Kurashu]

A level of Marshall will let you add your CHA bonus to Init, Dex, and Dex based skill checks.

 

[Jarrod]

There's an item in Secrets of Xen'drik that adds +2 initiative and +1d6 sneak attack. Bracer slot.

Swordsage class adds an initiative bonus.

Constant:

• Eager Weapon Special Ability (Arms and Equipment Guide, p. 96): +2
• Silthilar Flexible Spine graft (Lords of Madness): +4
• Rod of Alertness (DMG): +1

Situational:

• Initiative Weapon Special Ability (Oriental Adventures): +2 when wielded
• Sign spell (Spell Compendium, p. 189)

Get a friend to take levels in the Dread Commando prestige class (Complete Warrior, I think). Gives an init bonus to not just himself but everybody in the party.

Dread Commando gives up to a +5 competence bonus IIRC, 1 per level of DC.
