Editing Initiative

As the original rules of Pathfinder are round based, there is a system to determine the order in which combatants are allowed to take action. This is especially important to determine if a combatant has been caught [[Flat-Footed]].


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, as well as other modifiers from feats like [[Improved Initiative]], spells, and other effects. Characters act in order, counting down from the highest result to the lowest. In every round that follows, the characters act in the same order.
