what are we talking about here?
melee characters must run up to you
so that initiative thing can't work
or would work
all i know is my char shoots them and kills them without getting hit at all
with your example it would be like when i start combat
and try to hit someone who is 50 meters away i will wait until he is next to me then he hit me and then i shoot? rofl no way ;-)
i can hit him once or twice in those 50 meters
and he's dead before that ^^
