Quick and Dirty Initiative for C&C Monsters.

Post by Dragon of the Plains »

Again is another idea based on my Engine I run for C&C but broken down for normal book players.

Quick and Dirty initiative for DM's who like to prep.

This is slightly based off the old rules about creatures with reach and spears and the rather ridiculous rulings for that in the PHB. However, this is more int he spirit and involves less Troll Lord Sillyness.

HD/2 For Base Init +4 for Large, +0 for Med, -4 for small.

For Players i use Class Level/2 +Dex with the same size modifiers.

Both still use d10 rolls and they work fine and have been rigorously tested.

Quick and easy - roll 1d6:

1: -1
2-3: +0
4-5: +1
6 +2

If a monster moves quickly or otherwise has some sort of fast strike ability (a venomous snake, perhaps) than adjust by +1.
