Initiative

From NWNWiki

Initiative checks: At the start of a battle, each combatant makes an initiative check. An initiative check is a dexterity check. Each character applies his or her dexterity modifier to the roll. Characters act in order, counting down from highest result to lowest. In every round that follows, the characters act in the same order. If two or more combatants have the same initiative check result, the combatants who are tied act in order of total initiative modifier (highest first). If there is still a tie, the tied characters should roll again to determine which one of them goes before the other.

There are four feats in NWN that improve initiative.

• Blooded (Initiative improves by +2)
• Thug (Initiative improves by +2)
• Improved initiative (Initiative improves by +4)
• Superior initiative (This epic feat replaces improved initiative and gives +8 to initiative)
