COMBAT INITIATIVE! After surprise turns, the GM calls for new initiative. Everyone makes a Dexterity check (the GM uses the highest Dexterity modifier of any monsters). pg 88 Determining one initiative for the entire game doesn't make sense, otherwise there would be no point in having initiative for enemies and combat would get stale. Crawling initiative could be static or not. I like to keep it changing to make the game interesting, but I play online, so the clockwise rule doesn't work.
Also pg 88 Multitask. Characters can do small, parallel tasks on their turns, such as standing up, speaking, activating a magic item, or quaff i ng a potion. This doesn't typically use their action. So essentially it's the same as 5e, just GM determines what these multitasking are. Personally I don't allow standing from prone as multitasking. If you're prone, you use your action to stand.
You reroll initiative at the beginning of each combat encounter. Page 88 of Core Rule Book.

How do u play online?
@@darwinalvarado619 det e ruined non-combat initiative via role and get players to r3wct in that order
EXCELLENT break down, very clear. Good job.
Thank you. I think I can do better in the future.
You do a great job with these! Thank you!
Thank you. I have two more on Shadowdark, but I still need to finish my notes. Doing demonstrations live is stressful without notes 😉
Thanks Fred! 🐉🎩
You are welcome Matt 😊
Hi, enjoyed your video. If I understand the rules correctly, initiative for combat is not the same as the out of combat initiative 😊
Thanks. I am pretty sure it is the same.
Do PC's get Multiattack? I might have missed it but I cannot find it in the rules?
@@joedredd1168 No. Not part of Shadowdark. It's a fast play game.
@@HowtoRPG Ok cheers mate, just wanted to clear that up thank you.
@@joedredd1168 You are welcome.
Distance: don't forget about "double near"
@@greegan6373 I really dislike double near, it's confusing and difficult to explain.
