I'll be perfectly honest
In 35 years of DMing and GMing and SMing I have never once used initiative rules for anything, in any system
In real games the players are almost always either ambushing someone or getting ambushed themselves, in which case it's clear which team should get the first volley off
And in the rare cases where nobody is getting ambushed I just give the initiative to the players cause why not
>but what about the order of actions within the party?
Actions happen in seating order, from my left to my right
