Initiative

All characters have an Initiative bonus. The base of this bonus is the Dexterity score, and this can be improved through various feats and other methods.

At the start of combat, all characters involved and aware make an Initiative Roll, setting up the order in which the characters move. Starting with the character that rolled the highest, the characters take turn going down the list.

Characters that enter combat after this initial roll must roll into the existing order. People already in combat don't have to re-roll.
