It's like being the first batter in the order - only useful the first inning. The first four batters only matter for the fact they usually get to bat more often than the lower end of the order. After the first round, the particular order anyone is in does not matter. The relative order is then important. If having higher initiative was so important, why are there no other CORE feats that add to it? Yes, there are plenty of feats from other companies, but that's not the point. Many feats are there to raise damage, attack, etc. Only one feat to raise init, and beyond that is only high Dex. So, you get to go first, what other benefit is to be had from high init, especially when higher levels the opponents usually last beyond that first round?And if it had such importance, why do not more monsters in the MM, MMII, etc. have this feat? Especially high INT monsters?</blockquote>
