Re: [BNW] Initiative



Don't forget that everyone has a maximum number of actions equal to their Speed.  For regs, this can never go above 5 (the Trait maximum for regs).  Deltas don't have a maximum number of actions because their Traits don't have a maximum but they need the Speed before they can get their extra actions.  (BNW, p138)
 
Also, while a Goliath's or Scrapper's Strength bonus is counted in the Trait for figuring Wounds (a 5d6+5 Strength means the character has 10 Wounds in each location), the Initiative bonus Gunners and Speedsters get does not add to their Speed for maximum number of actions because it is a bonus to a specific roll, not to the Trait itself.
 
Hope this helps.
