[QUOTE="Shalimar, post: 4275204, member: 9600"] Actually, I think it would be better if we just post what we INTEND to do on our action and give relevant rolls for that, and let Gene adjudicate what actually happens. Obviously when you roll that bad you can say you missed, but anyone who beat Mal's initiaive has to have their actions take place before his. What happens if for example Mira on goes on her turn and kills the kobold with her shuriken (sneak attack and all that), Mal wouldn't have thrown the axe at a corpse. Thats why it is important to post what you WANT to do and then have GM adjudicate what actually happened. Speaking as someone who has a high dex and a feat that feeds into my init I think respecting the initiative order is reasonable. People don't need to post in order, but things do have to be handled by the GM in order. (This also has the benifit of you not needing to give us all the stats of our enemies) For example: Mira moves forward tumbling gracefully, releasing a shuriken at the top of her flip at the Kobold on the other side of the pool. (Move [Forward 4 up 1], Quickdraw and attacks with a sly flourish [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1618700/ ]Attack: 1d20+7 = 20[/URL] actually, left out combat advantage = 22 [URL=http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1618703/ ]Damage: 3d6+6 = 14[/URL]) [/QUOTE]
