Race: Drow on tabletop, depends on how races are implemented
Class: Rogue
Background: Criminal
This is an hypothetical exercise to happen only if they implement the rules as in the PHB (if it is really going to be TB). I have an Assassin/Fighter/Ranger on tabletop that really needs stealth, surprise and initiative mechanics to work correctly. So the whole team initiative thing kinda screws me over.
The initiative thing will be concerning for certain builds. I remember hearing that your team's initiative bonus is calculated in the roll, but unless you can create an entire party from scratch, it might be hard to get the bonuses required.
However, it looks like Surprise is working, so you can get the drop on unsuspecting enemies and get that free round of combat.
