[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 1552091, member: 1118"] Ah, but see, you have that nice tool (and a second brain/set of hands to use it) to offset :D Yes, once per round is more realistic, but not so realistic that it's worth it for most of us. A high Dex player that goes last due to a bad roll can be explained away due to the same battlefield conditions that you use to explain someone's suddenly reversal in the initiative order. Anyway, as long as it works for you and isn't overwhelming then go for it. It's an alternative rule for a reason :) Readied actions are one way to break out of the "taking turns swinging" (even though that's not *really* what's going on) problem. Do you guys notice any issues with stunning and full round spells? Does anyone even ready an action or do they just hope they'll win the iniative the next round? BTW, I doubt you're doing it, but the "look on the players' faces" comment makes it sound like you're competing with your players. Again, I doubt that's what you meant, so don't take it the wrong way [/QUOTE]
