Yeah, I think I've got a nice idea from your debate, and I can say where everyone's heart goes on the topic, so to speak.
I'm just gonna follow through with the character-by-character initiative and break the posts in character-couple batches. That way I can give the enemies another level of strategy to work with and the game will be fair to everyone. I'll just roll enemies in blocks, and if there's a sensible difference on their own initiatives, I'll roll two blocks of enemies to reflect the distinction.
