This does not mean they cannot be targetted, but often bystandards wild flee or remain as curious onlookers in the event of many brawls.) An Initiative check is a Dexterirty check + any misc or Talent based bonus. Characters act in order of highest check to lowest. After the character with the lowest Initiative check ends their turn their turn the round of combat ends and begins again starting from the highest. This cycle continues until combat is resolved. If two characters are tied for highest initiative a series of tie breakers are used. If any ties remain continue down the chain- The character with the higher Dex goes first > Higher of Wisdom > Higher number of Hero Points > flip a coin.+At the start of any combat encounter, or when starting a fight of any kind, an Initiative check is required to participate in the combat. To roll Initiative, roll 1d20 and add your Dexterity modifier, and any miscellaneous bonuses to Initiative you may possess (such as from a Talent).

-Status Conditions are lingering effects on a character but rarely permanent. They can last a few rounds or even hours, but generally you get better. This covers both negative and positive conditions, like being slowed down by ice or bolstered by an ally.+Status Conditions are lingering effects on a character but rarely permanent.
