| - | All initiative rolls are 1 to 400 plus the follower's speed value. When a member has an accumulative initiative value of 400+fatigue modifier, they get an action. Each speed point increases a follower's speed by about 0.25% over the base amount. It is possible to get a large amount of actions over opponents with higher speeds. | + | All initiative rolls are 1 to 400 plus the follower's speed value.

This makes it even more important for spellcasters and archers to be in avoidance and behind aggressive or defending units. This penalty also applies to monsters who use spells or ranged attacks. | **SPECIAL NOTE on Melee vs Spellbook OR Ranged Weapon** "Deflection Checks" - Followers equipped with a spellbook or ranged weapon have a 50% defensive penalty when defending against melee attacks for purposes of the "armor deflection" check.
