In Epic Path, classic encounters begin when the referee ask the players to make a surprise roll, which is usually a Perception check against a target. Those who fail are surprised, and there is then a surprise round. Once any surprise round is resolved, initiative is rolled and proper combat begins. If any combat ever manages to last ten rounds in a row, combat automatically ends. | In Epic Path, classic encounters begin when the referee ask the players to make a surprise roll, which is usually a Perception check against a target. Those who fail are surprised, and there is then a surprise round. Once any surprise round is resolved, initiative is rolled and proper combat begins. If any combat ever manages to last ten rounds in a row, combat automatically ends. If by some miracle (or really dull battle layout) there are still hostile foes after ten rounds, you may re-roll initiative at that point. No combat in Epic Path ever lasts more than ten rounds in a row. This little break serves two important tasks: It gives the players another action point, which they can hopefully use to end this drawn out mess, and it serves as a reminder to the GM to not let things drag. If conflict starts back up again, all survivors re-roll initiative. | ||
