Hope it’s ok to ask here – I have a question about the “Quick” weapon skill – please let me know if I should ask somewhere else.

Question -

The Quick weapon skill reads: “When deciding who goes first when up against a weapon of the same damage die, treat your DEX as being X higher."

I thought “deciding who goes first” is determined by a DEX save in the first round, with PCs not acting if they fail, and then alternates between PCs and opponents (page 25 in print, page in 33 pdf). I’m missing the part about how damage die affects who goes first. Any clarification you can offer would be appreciated!

Whoops, good catch. That's a holdover from the Block, Dodge, Parry SRD that somehow made it through edits. Thanks for the heads up, off to polish!

Ack, ok, need to revisit this wording, but the idea was that a Quick weapon helps with the DEX roll the first round of combat, regardless of opponent’s weapon. Essentially a -X modifier to the roll. Maybe something like:

Quick X: When determining who acts first during the first round of combat, treat your DEX as being X higher.

And I think I’ve figured a fix: the idea was that a Quick weapon helps with the DEX roll the first round of combat, regardless of opponent’s weapon. Essentially a -X modifier to the roll. Maybe something like:
