D&D 5E Initiative should be a skill.

Initiative was a skill in Star Wars Saga Edition, and very quickly became a must-have.

If the game was considerably more skill-based, and effectively turned "Attack (sword)" and the rest into combat skills, Initiative would be a fine entrant in the Combat Skills silo. However, if the game is still using BAB (or similar) instead of individual combat skills, Initiative should probably remain separate.
