There are a lot of dice rolled in a session of Art of Wuxia: rolls for initative, rolls to hit, rolls for damage, action checks, resistance checks... and oh wait... which of those was my initiative die?!

This initiative deck gives you another way to track turn order. Deal each player a number of cards equal to their INIT score. Let him use whichever is higher as his initiative score for that round. If you have more than one card, the others could be used for tie breakers.

There are even two optional cards you might enjoy using:

• SKIP - Players who get a SKIP result don't get to act that turn.  Combat paralysis.  Fear.  Frenzy.  Reloading or recovering arrows.  Reeling in pain.  You get the idea.  Fortunately for those of you more accustomed to combat (with an INIT score above 1), it's not likely this is your highest card. Being SKIPPED is annoying when you're the one dealt it, but it's a high-five moment when it's the big bad guy who suddenly gets SKIPPED! Don't worry... if you really don't want it, you can spend a qi to discard it and re-draw another card.
   
• WILD - When a player gets this card he gets to choose when he acts during the turn.  Even if he wants to go before those who got a 10.  Even interrupting another player (enemy or otherwise).  He's more or less in control of the situation.  Of course, those of you with characters accustomed to combat (INIT scores 2 or more) will find themselves WILD more often than the untrained and untalented, but everyone has a chance to be WILD once in a while!
