Re: Altering the Initiative Order
Something funny just occured to me. The way the rules are structured, a high-Speed character taken by surprise still 'moves' before slower ambushers.

He gets to roll to recover from stun first, but even if he succeeds he doesn't get to act until his next turn.

The mentally stunned army. We do more nothing before 10:00 AM than most people do all day.

Re: Altering the Initiative Order

Re: Altering the Initiative Order
Only if you're playing a house ruled version of GURPS where charavters can't actively Do Nothing :)
Of course, worrying about it leads us down murky existential philosophical paths with questions like "Can a person do nothing, or do they merely not do anything?" Help me Jean-Paul Sartre. You're my only hope!

Re: Altering the Initiative Order
Fortunately, we are able to extrapolate that, in GURPS at least, it takes exactly 1 second to get Nothing Done.
