==Initiative==

Acting first and fastest is very important in conflicts!

* Your '''Initiative Rating = Active Trait + Thunder Trigram. 

For example, if the Xia warrior ''Moon Shadow'' has a Physical Trait of 3, and a Thunder Trigram of 4, then in physical conflicts her initiative rating is 7!

The highest Initiative Rating always goes first in a round, and can take a single action. You then move down the Initiative Order, with each character acting in turn.

In the case of equal Initiative Ratings, player characters act before non player characters. The players get to decide who acts first amongst player characters of equal initiative to each other. The GM gets to decide who acts first amongst non-player characters of equal initiative to each other.

If the players can't agree amongst themselves (as might happen in PVP combats), then the oldest player goes first! It is only polite to respect your elders!

If there are multiple conflict types ongoing, then Physical Initiative always trumps Mental Initiative, which in turn always trumps Social Initiative.
