[QUOTE="AuraSeer, post: 366346, member: 1331"] I think what you want here is a Delay action. The PCs delay until the initiative count for their lowest member, and then they all go in whatever order they want. Ferinstance: The party rolls initiative. The fighter (at the door) gets a natural 20, but the wizard (in the middle of the group) gets a 4. The fighter elects to Delay. If anyone else rolled higher than the wiz, they also Delay. Then, once the wizard is ready-- once the initiative count gets down to 4-- the fighter takes his delayed action and smashes the door down. The rest of the party takes their delayed actions and charges in after him. This has two advantaged over Readying, the first being that it's not dependent on a specific triggering action. If you Ready an action for when the door opens, but then an enemy teleports into the hallway, you don't get to change your readied action. (The other advantage is that Delay does not restrict you to a partial action, as Ready does.) [/QUOTE]
