[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7169977, member: 6895991"] As long as they do not make the stupid 2ed initiative rule with weapon speed factors (which i unknowingly used and back then considered it a great way to balance daggers with two handed weapons in my foolishness) an official rule i am fine although i think as many ppl in this thread have analysed that this particular System has ist flaws and personally i prefer the simple Standard initiative System fro m5E [B]People think a dagger is quicker than a two handed sword [/B][B]AND THAT IS WRONG[/B]. If two oponents are fighting armed with dagger vs two handed sword, the one with the two handed sword will strike first any time just because he has longer reach (and in real live propably kill the dagger wielder without getting a scratch from the dagger. The weapon with the furthest reach usually goes first. A ranged weapon shooting first in most cases especially with a cocked crossbow is not to unrealistic. So please dear D&D dev Team, do not include weapon speed factors until you got yourself some understanding by watching a lot of scholagadiatora vids on YouTube. Rather think about replacing leather and studded leather armor with something realistic like acheton buffcoat and brigandine, which have actually existed. [/QUOTE]
