Customizing my Macdonald's Iniative Order

 I have been playing my home game for some time using OSE as a base. However, as the campaign has continued, me and my players have been hacking the rules or adding new mechanics as we like. Usually my additions are from blogs I like, and so id like to share the combat rule sheet I used based off of Prismatic Wastelands MacDonald's Initiative . I originally introduced these rules as they are to my players, but over the last few months we have found ways to make the mechanic carry even more impact in combat, largely inspired by me playing Elden Ring. My current goal is to keep the ability to quickly choose an action at the start of a round, while also allowing for many ways of handling a pitched combat. The following is the rules handout I have on my table with my players one to one. I would recommend reading Prismatic Wastelands blog first, then this one.
