This is an extraordinary ability.
Benefit: The deity goes first in the
initiative order, no matter what its
initiative result is or what
initiative result anyone else in an encounter or battle has.
Notes: Determine
initiative normally among any beings who don't have this ability, placing them in order after the deity. The deity can choose to
delay or
ready an action, just any other being can, and doing so changes the deity's
initiative as normal. The deity also can refocus, thereby resuming its position at the beginning of the
initiative order.
If two or more deities who have this ability are in the same battle, the deity with the highest
divine rank gets the first position in the
initiative order, the deity with the second highest rank gets the second position, and so on. Other beings then go in order after the last deity with the Supreme
Initiative ability.
If two deities with this ability and the same
divine rank are in a battle, make an
initiative check for each deity, and the deity with the higher result goes first.
Suggested Portfolio Elements: Agility, thieves, war.
