New in SW5eA brand-new Star Wars 5e trick: you touch a willing creature, and for the duration they can add 1d8 to their initiative checks. Think of it as a temporary initiative boost that helps them act earlier in combat.✨
Touch a willing creature; for the rest of the session (until a short or long rest) it adds 1d8 to every Initiative check.
