[QUOTE="vic20, post: 4449618, member: 1530"] Good point. Does the following potential complaint re: this resolution have any weight in your eyes? - Initiative count 5: Fighter moves to the goblin and readies his attack for when his buddy (warlord preparing "Lead the Attack") attacks the goblin. Initiative order starts over at the top... - Initiative count 15: Goblin attacks - Initiative count 10: Warlord attacks the goblin, and misses. In this situation, the Goblin would have precendence by the initiative-order-resoultion (15 vs 5), and would shift gleefully out of the way of the fighter's (now negated) attack. This might upset the sensibilities of said fighter if he were to think in terms of how long he had been readying (nearly a whole round) as opposed to the goblin having just attacked a few counts earlier. That said, I can easily assuage the concern by alluding to how important higher initiative is in the tactical timing of the combat abstraction and encourage the fighter to be aware of this. Again, thanks for the feedback all. I have a good grasp on how to resolve this timing issue overall; I'm just fiddling with the crumbs in the corner cases at this point. [/QUOTE]
