[QUOTE="Lamoni, post: 1811737, member: 12680"] Regarding initiative, Rather than focusing on the first round with some people having less time in their round, I only focus on the order. I know that in the rules that it says everything happens simultaneously, but I still think there has to be some sequence to it. Therefore, I think of it like this... Time Action 0:00 Rogue wins initiative and moves first and attacks. 0:02 Fighter goes next and shoots a few arrows. 0:04 Wizard finally goes and casts wall of fire then moves. 0:06 Rogue just finished with his attack and starts his next action 0:08 Fighter just finished shooting his arrows and starts his next action 0:10 Wizard just finished his move and starts his second action. This way, everyone is moving and doing things simultaneously, there still is order so having a higher initiative really means you go sooner, and everyone still has 6 second rounds. Of course there can still always be cases where it doesn't work like the example hypersmurf showed. It makes more sense to me to think of it this way rather than having everyone start their first action at time 0:00 If that was the case, delaying your action wouldn't be much of a delay.
