Thanks for the clear explanation! there’s so much D+D shite on TH-cam, this is a refreshing change. Reading the book isn’t immediately clear that init=dex, why, who knows? Much better to have these videos :)
Thank you Paul. It's often expected that people will join a game and the experienced players will help you with the rules. I want the mystery of D&D rules to disappear.
Thanks everyone else just talks about it instead of explaining it and examples
Caleb Carney No problem.
perfect im still new and tried finding out withour a clear answer and you just showed me exacly what i needed to know thank you
You are welcome Mini.
This was so incredibly useful! I have been so lost my past few meets and this cleared things up for me. SO much better than the book!
I am glad it helped you, Emily :)
thank you for this! the players guide as well as the rules in the starter set are not clear enough for beginners like me but your videos make everything very clear and easy to understand.
Thanks. Glad it helped. I will be running classes on Lighthall that cover more of this in the future.
This helped I was making a mistake as a DM and not adding the monsters Dex modifier
Glad I could help.
Thanks, needed this. It was the only thing I didn't know about D&D, so I appreciate it.
You are welcome :)
Subscribed because your explanations are simple, straightforward and well explained. Many thanks
Welcome aboard and Thank you. There is more coming in the future.
This was extremely helpful and I now fully understand initiative in d&d now thank you so much!
You are welcome. I have a weekly Dungeons and Dragons 5E core rules live stream that uses slides, maps, miniatures and dice to explain and demonstrate everything.
Appreciate your step-by-step instructions - very helpful
Thanks. Glad I could help.
Thank u soon much, I already understand how to roll just didn't know which dice to use, couldn't remember and online players handbook on wotc didn't say which die to use
You are welcome Craig.
Thank you... very straight-forward and easy to follow!
You're welcome Stephen.
Returning 1E player as my kids now want to play - really helped scrape some rust off - will check out your other vids - cheers mate !
You are most welcome. Great to hear that your kids want to play :)
Should add I’m having a blast back in too !
Thank you.. Easy and straight to the point.
I am glad you liked the video Steve.
Very helpful. Thanks a bunch
No worries.
Thank you very much.
You are welcome.
Could you add a link to the original video to show the default character your are using for any future videos that uses numbers
Roberto Rios Yes. I will provide a link to character sheets in the future. I will try to use the D&D 5e starter set pre-made character sheets from now on.
thank you!!! You are very helpful
You are welcome Bruce.
I use the NPC NP slots for Initiative. I feel that it makes for better tactics as well as helps the party learn to work together. Do u guys use the one out of the book or Slots?
I use many types of initiative, but cover only the basic system in this video.
I have a question. How do you know what is the monsters initiative?
Hi Rosa. The Dexterity modifier is the monsters Initiative bonus.
what happens wen you have several goblins or several different monsters would you roll for each type of monster or each monster individually. thank you love the videos short and sweet staying on topic :)
+Flashpoint The rule book states that you make only one initiative roll for a group of goblins. If you have a few different types of monsters, an initiative roll is made for each type. Don't roll for each individual monster, this will create a lot more work for you as the DM.
+howtod&d If you don't want to track more than one initiative roll for a range of different monsters, then select the lowest initiative for the monsters and make a single roll to represent the whole gang of different monsters (this is not an official method, but may make your life a lot easier.
+howtod&d thank you for the quick reply and clarifying this rule, easy to understand. 5e is a much faster paced set of gaming rules compared to 3.5e or 2e. I'm enjoying the rest of your rules explanation videos. I'm going to share them with my D&D group
+Flashpoint Thank you for kind word and sharing the video.
Question. What if I am playing a rogue, and I tend to have good initiative, so I end up going first, but I don't want to? I'd rather wait for another party member to get close to the enemy so that when I go I will get my sneak attack. Is there a way to wait for a bit on my turn?
Only if you take the ready action and state that you shoot when an enemy is engaged in melee combat or some such thing. You cannot hold your turn like older versions of the game.
+howtod&d Thanks. I will look into the ready action. I was thinking more about melee than ranged, though.
You can ready a melee attack.
Did I miss where you said how to find out what your initiative mod is?
Yes. Initiative modifier is the same as the Dexterity modifier.
@@HowtoRPG ah, thanks!! I'm enjoying binge watching your videos.
@@Thornspyre81 Awesome.
You probably wont see this, but say Jeff had 16, Mark had 14, Evan had 8, but there are THREE goblins in play who i rolled to get a 10. I understand that you make a "lump roll" for all three goblins, but will the order go; Jeff, Mark, ALL THREE GOBLINS AT ONCE, and then Evan? Or will it go: Jeff, Mark, Goblin, Evan, Goblin, Mark, Goblin, Evan, Goblin Etc.
Jeff, Mark, Goblins then Evan.
So initiative is just seeing who goes first?
Yes. It's a turn based game.
Dm: now roll a d20
Player: which is..?
D20: If I could give you a 1 right now I would
20 sided is actually 19 sided
Oh the FBi just called me they said I know to much
Seems kind of ridicules. Because, the modifier of who gets to attack first MOSTLY based on the roll. The difference between 3 and even a 6 is inconsequential in the end. I would think who reacts first would be an important stat to focus on.
