Initiative determines the order of turns during combat. When combat starts, every participant makes a <Luck> check to determine their place in the initiative order. The Dungeon Master makes one roll for an entire group of identical creatures, so each member of the group acts at the same time. The results are then ranked in order from the one with the highest total to the one with the lowest. This is the initiative order in which everyone acts during each round. If a tie occurs, the Dungeon Master can decide the order of those whom tie.
Provided the subsystem it's utilized, players may view the initiative order by typing round show. The player whose turn it is will be highlighted in green. The system will also notify all players as progression is made through the initiative order; thereby, allowing players to prepare for their turn when it is approaching in hopes to move things along as smoothly as possible.
