fair enough. sorry if I might have been too... snappy er... whatever you wanna call it but I see initiative as one of the rules in place to prevent dickish behavior like skipping over players. Granted I am not unfond of house rules, especially for d20, but initiative has always been one I'm of the opinion it's there for a reason and it's not a BS reason. Can't think of any specific house rules off the top of my head, but yeah...<br/><br/>so... since we have that squared away, we cool?
