 ====== Conversational initiative ======
+Instead of rolling for initiative and sticking to a turn order, play just flows as part of the normal conversation, just like when you're exploring the jungle or talking to an innkeep. It's not a special "combat mode", you could be talking and then shoot someone and then look inside a chest and then hit someone and then talk some more. It's seamless.

+If both of you have actions left that round, see [[https://dnd.idiomdrottning.org/rules/targets-and-ranges-in-fights#first-strike|the "First Strike" rules, here]]. If only one of you have actions left that's the person who gets to hit first.
