[QUOTE="helium3, post: 4547904, member: 31301"] [B]Initiative Order[/B] Interesting idea with handling initiative in batches like that. I had considered doing that in my IRL game but decided it was too radical for them. I have no problem utilizing that method in this game. I wouldn't have to put little initiative numbers on the board tokens and I'm down with that. [B]Delaying & Readying[/B] In the future, when your delay you simply need to state which character or monster you will go after. If your want to make your action contingent on something else you're readying an action and you need to be specific about what exactly the trigger for your readied action is. In either case, if the delay or ready means that you go all the way to your next turn without acting you get to take two sequential turns in the manner that Ranver just did. I'm toying with the idea of Delaying and Readying not actually changing your initiative count. What's everyone's thoughts on this? [B]Conditions Board[/B] I am noting the difference between similar creatures with colors and using mini's that match. When attacking be sure to include the color of your target if applicable. I think that'll help a lot with us all being on the same page about which creature is doing what. I will post whether or not a creature is bloodied or zeroed but I agree with The Digger on the dramatic benefits of not knowing the exact hit points of an opponent. I will go ahead and start posting defense scores though. [/QUOTE]
