(dice fly across room)DM response:  OK, who has next initiative?That's as close as I can get to illustrating the difference right now, if you see it then you understand where I am coming from, if you don't see it then you are obviously a lot more patient and forgivng person than I will ever be.DISCLAIMER:  the above examples represent attempts to create examples on the fly and NOT necessarily real life situations.  Some dramatization and dramatic license has been taken to illustrate a point.</blockquote>
