==How Basic Combat Works==
Combat in Epic Path, and indeed in all D20 system games, is taken one person at a time in a step-wise fashion.  At the beginning of the combat, each person rolls an initiative number by rolling a D20 and adding their initiative modifier. The person (or monster) with the highest initiative number goes first, then the person with the next highest number goes next, etc.  This process repeats until every person and monster and other creature in a given conflict has had a turn. (It is HIGHLY recommended to have a whiteboard, display monitor, or even a plain old sheet of paper where all the initiative numbers for each creature can be kept track of.)

The Game Master may keep track of the initiative count, or, the players may keep track of it, depending upon the work load of the game master.
