And interpreting as fixed initiative count doesn't solve (and possibly compounds) the problem, as an extremely low or high initiative roll could be followed by a round in which everyone rolls at the other extreme. | |

You seem to suggest in the second paragraph that if the character acts for example, fourth out of nine combatants, that the effect should end when the fourth combatant goes in the following round. This seems like a plausible interpretation of the rules, but how would you operationalize it? I think it would move a lot of the bookkeeping from the player (whose turn the effect would end on) to the DM, and fear that it would be difficult to use in practice. | |
