I'm referring to within a turn, after movement, as each player gets their chance to act (going in order by adjDX). Under the old rules, initiative didn't matter at this point in the turn, any adjDX ties were resolved by the tied players making die rolls. Under the new rules, who acts first (attacks, fires, attempts spell, etc.) is predetermined by which of the tied characters is on the side that won the earlier initiative roll. If all the PC's on one side were in adjDX ties, and their side had lost the initiative roll, then none of those PCs would get to act first during that turn. That's how I read the new rule anyway.
