STEELDRAGONS' ULTIMATE FANTASY GAME

OH! Under Combat...

--Surprise Round: If either side of an encounter is able to surprise the other, the surprising side gains a "free round" of actions before and separate from initiative. Those on the side being surprised are unable to take any actions during this round. Once the "surprisers" have completed their "surprise round," initiative is rolled and combat proceeds as normal.
