Combat:
Initiative Order
• Initiative Order is determined by the highest-ranking card (Ace high). Each player may show (not
discard) a card for consideration.
• Tied players may choose to show another card. Highest wins.
• If a character has no hand, they may reveal a card from the deck. They do not put this card into
their hand, and it is discarded after determining Initiative.
• Winner of the Initiative determines who goes first.
• After each action, the character who just acted determines who goes next.
• The last character to act in a round chooses who begins the next round, but they may not choose
themselves.
•On each character’s turn they make one action: an attack, a skill roll, or a Whisper. They may also
move before or after they act.
