'''Initiative''' determines the order of turns during combat. When combat begins, every combatant roll a <code>[[File:1d20.png|frameless|upright=0.15]] 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.
'''Initiative''' determines the order of turns during combat.


If two participants have the same result, the one with higher [[Dexterity]] Score will go first.
== Rolling Initiative ==
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)]].
