I suspect its more a matter of DM mistake than a rules problem.We had entered the first room and folks were looking around. There were bones present, and something about the way the DM described them made me think they had been arranged in a strange way. He asked me what I wanted to do, and I asked if the arrangement of the bones meant anything to me perhaps related to my Occultism knowledge. He asked me to roll. I rolled poorly and got a total of 8.Combat broke out, and my initiative was 8 because of my Occultism roll.I don't really care about the 8, nor about using +5 skill instead of my Perception (+1). Another player's initiative was their latest Arcane roll. I don't remember what the other players were doing. They might have used a "Nose Picking" roll for all I know. What was wrong with an Initiative Roll? In that case I think it would have made more sense.</blockquote>
