[poll] should initiative bonuses from seperate feats stack?

[kkoie]

You all make some valid points. I might be over emphasizing Initiatives role in things.

 

[Hygric]

If you use a large number of monsters, the chances of one of them rolling really high for init are quite good. F'rex, if you have 20 hobgobs, one of them should be going off at 21.

And remember kids, it doesn't matter who goes first, only who goes last.

Having high initiative value is good, but a surprise round is better.

Also, initiative bonus does not help when some new combatants join in a combat. If they aware of the combat, they simply go fast before any PCs can react.

I often let villains join in a combat which PCs already fighting against guards.
