@JeremyECrawford is initiative a contested ability check v.s. everyone in the combat, or an ability check that determines your relative turn

The initiative roll is a Dexterity check. It's not a contest. #DnD https://t.co/jsHnlTZkZS

@JeremyECrawford followup on Initiative. Is it proficiency bonus + DEX by RAW?

Initiative, like any ability check, uses your prof. bonus only if you have a feature that grants prof. in it. #DnD https://t.co/mNJkEnfIHQ

@Tsyclops @JeremyECrawford doesn't that only had to skill and tool checks?

Jack of All Trades applies to any ability check that doesn't use your proficiency bonus. #DnD https://t.co/3NysYxx4vr
