[@The Mighty Hero] If the players all roll init as a group, that makes a lot of initiative bonuses (class options and things like the Alert feat) pretty much useless. Enemies as a group works well enough, but player init? I'd rather not see my (or others') potential bonuses go to waste.

It does nullify any bonuses players would get as they collectively roll but I was thinking of using this variant because it will allow any available player to post instead of waiting for a specific player to post. You will still be held up by me if I'm not on to take the enemy's turn but this variant typically makes for faster gameplay.
