with geyhaek initiative system do familars and beast compions have own roll or do they act on your rill plus their own? I'd have them roll separately

greyhawk initiative
Greyhawk Initiative, does the DM declare monster actions to the players?
@mikemearls Can't wait to try the new Greyhawk Initiative UA rules! Question though, RaW does the DM declare monster actions to the players?

Dungeon master should try to give hints, based on what PCs can see and understand. Might be a good use of insight at start of round. https://t.co/Pf2P5kppAn

Greyhawk Initiative: Why not base initiative on each classes main ability?
Why not base initiative on each classes main ability. This way people will not complain to it just being a dex based system.

I actually thought about basing it on class – each class used a different die type as a base

read more of it. never going to use it. way to many things to roll on. May i receive and answer as to why this was created?

Simple – had fun using it with several groups. https://t.co/8XrCGSLe8B

Greyhawk Initiative: How to handle Thief’s Reflexes?
Greyhawk Initiative: How to handle Thief’s Reflexes? Roll for actions, then add 10 for 2nd turn?seems reasonable

With the Greyhawk Initiative, are legendary actions still necessary?
with the alternative Initiative System, are legendary actions still necessary ? Maybe add Legendary Initiative. ‘-‘ on dice roll I'd just run them as written, between turns, without modifying initiative

How would you do Initiative for conditional bonus actions?
how would you do Initiative for conditional bonus actions (eg. pounce or great weapon master)? Roll the extra dice and pray? I wouldn't have it affect initiative

How do you run combat that the UA initiative is playable?
how do you run combat that the UA initiative is playable? do you count off every #? What about when you have several NPCs out? Count off from 1, work around monsters – lowest monster init is 3, I ask everyone with 1 or 2 to go

I feel Greyhawk Initiative gives double bonus to ranged compared to melee…
Re GH Init: I feel it gives double bonus to ranged compared to melee: lower die, and usually no move. Why not switch those?Will see how people using it feel – move die might already account for approach + melee triggering after stand + fire
