I was just kidding around. You are right, my terms
could have been confusing. I'm glad to have been refreshed on the rules again
myself. Good thing I have you guys around to keep me informed.
well i wasnt trying to be technical with the intitiative
thing, its just that anyone who is familiar with it might be confused
because with initiative the faster character goes first and in SF the
fastest character goes last, unless he interrupts.
The guy asking
the question wasnt clear on the rules and hes from spain, so unless we can
explain it in spanish we should try to be as clear as possible and not
confuse him even more.
thats all i was trying to
do.
peace, Matt

initiative is dnd or sumthing and the rounds are different here. >
