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%.
