[QUOTE="Leopold, post: 371258, member: 758"] horrible idea...The DM keeps track of INITs as you must roll INIT for your monster and you can have them take 20 or rotate as you see fit. No sense having the PC"s knowing when you gnollish spellcaster is going to blast the barbarian into tapioca. an accounant that works. good god this person is fubar'd! I let them keep track of their spells, they haven't cheated me and I don't cheat them. I let them tell me when they run out or what have you and they have been good on that so far. They've run out several times and it's great to see the sorcerer go in there with his spiked chain because the tanks are near death and the cleric is all done with his healing and buffing spells... unless you know your players are cheating you then this just takes the fun out of seeing the look on the players face when they start hitting single digits. This also complicates matters with who knows how many hit points someone has when in reality they have no idea and should NEVER know unless someone cries out in battle "I AM HURTING BADLY HERE!!!" Another bad idea.. [/QUOTE]
