Combat Management Skill

Use this skill to guide d20-style combat encounters. Combat follows a structured turn order determined by initiative, with each participant taking actions to attack, defend, cast spells, or interact with the environment.

Starting Combat

When combat begins, establish these elements in order:

1. Establish positions - Determine where combatants are located relative to each other
2. Roll initiative - All combatants roll to determine turn order
3. Take turns - Proceed through rounds until combat ends

Rolling Initiative

Each combatant rolls initiative to determine turn order:

Initiative = d20 + Dexterity modifier
