[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8557127, member: 6987520"] It really isn't that difficult to track, and I encourage groups to try those variants for a few sessions if the idea appeals to you. If it doesn't then no worries. :) Each person has a level of complexity when it comes to such things they are most comfortable with: Side Initiative (no reroll) Individual Initiative (no reroll) Side Initiative (reroll each round) Individual Initiative (reroll each round) Using Speed Factors Using Variable Dice (the OP) By Actions (breaking up the OP by dice rolls) Cinematic Initiative and beyond... There's a learning curve, of course, but you get standard "action sets" so you will know which dice to use quickly. Whether the benefit is worth the slight time increase is up to you. Frankly, we've been using cinematic initiative for over a year now and it goes really fast for us at this point, keeps players more engaged, is more realistic; and at this point I would never go back to regular initiative.
