In the example the book gives, there are 3 trolls against 3 PCs; the trolls are big and slow, so the ranger goes before them with his short sword, the fighter is using an axe he is specialized in so he goes pretty early, but the wizard takes a lot longer to cast his spell. If you're doing group initiative it doesn't really matter.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10248148560449989072noreply@blogger.com
