The side with the higher roll isconsidered to have "won" initiative, and gets to move first (similar to winning the toss beforea football game). All of oneside's actions take place before the othersides. At the start of the next round, roll forinitiative again, provided there are still atleast two combatants whose actions willinterfere with each other. Initiative Modifier: Each side adds to itsinitiative mil a modifier based upon thehighest Intuition on that side. This mayallow a side with a low roll to gain initiative.A roll of "1" is always considered to be a"1." The initiative modifier is based on thecharacter's rank number:[code] Initative ModifierIntuition Rank     Number0 to 10                011 to 20               121 to 30               231 to 40               341 to 50               451 to 75               575 and up              6 [/code] Changing Actions: After making aninitiative roll, an action that sounded so gooda moment ago sounds like not such a greatidea afterwards. Example: Both you and anopponent dive for a gun kicked across thefloor. You roll a 1 for initiative. It may be timeto re-examine your options. Changing anaction requires a yellow Agility FEAT, andany FEATs made after changing are at apenalty of one column shift to the left(-1CS).The roll for changing actions takes place inthe pre-action phase of the turn. Negating Actions: Losing the initiativemay negate certain actions. These are lostand may not be performed during that turn.For example, if you are knocked out beforeyou can land a blow, you do not get achance to take your action. Each side rolls 1d10 and adds the modifiers listed above. I not sure what to do about the system, I remeber having trouble with it before back when we played. I will roll init. when you are in a group but if going single you can roll and post it with your actions. We are going to try a few things before we settle into one lets give the rules a go and then next time a d20 type init system. HM</blockquote>
