This is effectively a Dexterity Ability Check, but is made using a D4 instead of a D20 ([[D&D 5e Rule Changes|a departure from D&D tabletop rules]]). Proficiency does not normally apply, but some class features, spells and magical items can provide bonuses to the Initiative roll. | ||
Creatures with the highest rolls act first. Allied player-controlled characters with the same Initiative result effectively act simultaneously; the player can switch between them to coordinate their actions, and the game waits until all such characters have ended their turns to move on to the next creature. | |||
