I would also consider decoupling Initiative from Dexterity entirely and instead simply have it be linked with the character's Proficiency bonus: this is to say, it's linked to the character's overall experience as an adventure rather than any of their six attributes. But I would not necessarily make too many drastic changes until you know how a smaller set of major changes work together.</blockquote>
