| '''Initiative''' determines the order of turns during combat. | | '''Initiative''' determines the order of turns during combat. When combat begins, every combatant roll a <code>{{D20}} + [[Dexterity#Dexterity Modifier Chart|Dexterity Modifier]]</code> to determine their place in the initiative order. The highest roll will go first, the lowest roll will go last. |

| == Rolling Initiative ==
| | If two participants have the same result, the one with higher [[Dexterity]] Score will go first. |
| When combat begins, every participating combatant rolls <span class="bg3wiki-info-blob">{{DieIcon|d4|Physical}} D4 + [[Dexterity#Dexterity Modifier Chart|Dexterity Modifier]]</span> to determine their position in the initiative order. Participants act in order from highest to lowest Initiative. If two participants roll the same Initiative result, the one with a higher [[Dexterity]] Score goes first, though characters controlled by the same player with the same Initiative effectively act simultaneously: they can use their collective actions, movement and other turn-based resources in any order they choose.

| | |
| == Initiative bonuses ==
| |
| Many class features, [[feats]], magic items and consumables can improve a character’s initiative by granting additional bonuses to the roll. Many of these are also used by [[Non-Player Characters|NPCs]]. Unlike in tabletop rules, it is NOT considered a skill check, and so initiative is not affected by features or effects like [[Jack of All Trades]] or [[Enhance Ability: Cat's Grace (Condition)]].
