When combat starts, all combatants roll for [[Initiative|initiative]] to determine the turn order. These rolls are determined by rolling a single d4 and adding the creature's Dexterity modifier to the results of the roll.
When combat starts, all combatants roll for [[Initiative|initiative]] to determine the turn order. This is a d4 roll ([[D&D 5e rule changes|a significant departure from the tabletop rules]]), and adds a creature's Dexterity modifier. Proficiency does not apply, but some items, class features and other special abilities may provide bonuses.


Creatures with the highest rolls act first. Allied player-controlled characters with the same Initiative result effectively act simultaneously; the player can switch between them to coordinate their actions, and the game waits until all such characters have ended their turns to move on to the next creature.
