Timeline for Our GM has us roll new initiative every round. Just how broad of a change is this?

Rollback to Revision 3

| Jan 5, 2022 at 13:09 | comment | added | Francesco Rogo | @ESCE yes, we always use the same skill to roll, and this is one of the main concerns i had about it. Effect will end at the end of the next turn of the player or the affected creature. An unconscious creature will perform any check at the end of the round. | |

Reworked into a "what breaks if we do X" as suggested by the rule-intent metas

| Jan 4, 2022 at 16:53 | comment | added | ESCE | Also, check out the dueling rules for an example of how Paizo does dynamic initiative. It could serve as inspiration. (Overall, I'd personally recommend against doing this in non-duel combats, because tracking things in dynamic initiative sounds like a nightmare). | |
| Jan 4, 2022 at 16:50 | comment | added | ESCE | However, I do think that the question how "how does re-rolling initiative every round affect balance" could be answerable. If you'd like to go that route, there are some other things we should know. Is your GM always having creatures uses the same skill, or can it vary from round to round? If it varies, how does it vary? When do effects that end at the end of the character's next turn expire? How about effects that end at the end of the effected target's next turn? How are they handling the movement of initiative when one is knocked unconscious? | |

| Jan 4, 2022 at 10:16 | comment | added | Akixkisu | Welcome to rpg.se. I see that you haven't taken the tour yet on Overflow, so you might as well do it here. As the question currently stands, we are very likely to close it because we decided that questions about designer intent are too speculative, and unfortunately, we can't answer broad questions like "what else do you think we should absolutely change to keep the game balanced?" if you want a specific analysis of how the house rule impacts balance - that would be something that we can do. | |
