Is Initiative Broken or Just Not Being Used?
discuit opened this issue · comments
Hi, and thank you for providing this wonderful tool!
Currently initiative rolling doesn't seem to work in the combat tracker. It would be fantastic if this could be fixed/added.
Thank you again!
There is no initiative in Cairn.
I suppose you could track which side's turn it is, but that wouldn't be that helpful.

Isn't initiative based on a dex check to see if a the player acts before the monsters which then becomes the cycle of combat? Much like other systems? Or did I misunderstand that?
Yes, you are correct. You however only do this once - the first round - to see which PCs go before the monsters. After that it's just side vs side, the players going in any order. There is a semi-useful entry in the FAQ about it.
I've honestly never had any issue remembering which side needs to go in my FoundryVTT games, but I don't see why we shouldn't do it, certainly!
Sounds like a good feature request to me!
Honestly, after reading the FAQ (thank you for the link as there is a LOT of resources on that page!) you're probably right, it isn't really necessary. Would it be helpful to some? Maybe? I certainly wouldn't make it a priority though. Thanks for the prompt feedback on the matter. :)
