# Chunked Initiative ## What is Chunked Initiative? The underlying mechanic is fairly simple: initiative is rolled as normal. If allies are moving back-to-back in the initiative order, that chunk of players takes their movements, actions, and bonus actions in any order they’d like at the same time. ### An Example Here’s an initiative order In this combat, the first Chunk has Xalitul, Madlad, and Marux; they will all go first. They can go in any order they want; maybe Xalitul moves, then Marux attacks, then Madlad uses a spell, Marux attacks again, Xalitul attacks, etc. Next up, all Pteradons take their turn. The next Chunk has Inalla, Twoflower, Pythagor, and Desmond. Like before, they all go at once. Next up, all Pterafolks move. The first turn is over and now the next chunk belongs to Desmond, Xalitul, Madlad, and Marux. Combat continues from there.
