[QUOTE="Al2O3, post: 7558247, member: 6802284"] I agree with the others that making a ruling and let everyone move together on a turn makes sense in the scenarios you describe. For your second example I would add one thing: surprise. I get the impression that the goblin didn't know the characters were there before the mad dash. Therefore it shouldn't have shot at whatever character was visible first. Rather, it would've been surprised and spent the first turn to stop being surprised. It then gets a shot off at the last target as they run around the corner, which probably is the character with the lowest initiative. In this case the narrative and the initiative could've made sense together. Still, a ruling on moving together might make sense. If it only comes up when making a mad dash past enemies you could maybe even handle it outside initiative. I imagine the characters using dash and only being targets for one round. Cover and such is constant for the whole dash. Just say that the characters dash past, taking one round of attacks. Roll all attacks at the same time. No need for initiative if the characters only dash and the enemies just attack. The example above can be expanded with more attacks if characters are exposed longer. [/QUOTE]
