	When dice combat begins, determining the turn order (who acts when) is done via Initiative rolls. These are performed within the dice panel, and will list out each character involved in the combat based upon their initiative roll. When initiative begins, characters are generally allowed to begin already wielding their weapons, except in cases such as being ambushed or being robbed. For more information on when initiative begins, see Section 6.6 Initiation & Initiative in [[~~Template:In-Game_Rules~~#6.1_Initiation_&_Initiative\|In-Game Rules]]		When dice combat begins, determining the turn order (who acts when) is done via Initiative rolls.

	In the event of a tie, the character with higher initiative bonus will go first. If both characters have the same bonus, their initiatives are re-rolled. When dealing with multiple characters in a scene, it is important to save the initiative order in a text file or ooc chat. Closing the dice panel will wipe the initiative order.

	While all players are expected to adhere to these rules when engaging in combat between characters on their own, we try to be more open and rewarding towards creativity when interacting with our Staff team in events and encounters. While the rules listed below are the usual standard used by our Storytellers and players during these Staff-hosted scenes, our NPC creations and environmental hazards sometimes require us to make adjustments to the mechanics of a scene to properly simulate the threats or conditions our players are facing.
