Initiative modifiers

This page contains some non specific data which NEEDS SPADING: How exactly is initiative calculated? How is randomness added?

• Initiative determines who attacks first, you or your foe.
• Initiative is calculated using base dodge, an Intellect bonus and initiative modifiers.
• Whoever has the higher initiative value, wins.
• Amounts for Skills are affected by S, the number of skill points invested in the skill.
• Negative percentage modifiers are capped at -90%.
