AIUI, if your Initiative Step is reduced to zero or lower, you act every other turn on 1.The only rule that exists states that, if a characters initiative gets reduce below step 1, they always act last in the round as if their initiative result was 1.

IMB, If your initiative result is 1 or lower, you go on "rock" and if your initiative result is 2, you go on "not rock". And the bad guy always gets a 0-phase soliloquy.

The best example would be the gauntlet, who can reduce his initiative to a 1 in order to gain a higher bonus.

This is however the answer to a different (but surely equally valuable) question. Mine was about loosing turns purely due to dice results.

Yes, I have two players that are perfectionists like that. So if they can't decide fast what they do, they do nothing.
Other player's turn is for thinking about what you do. Your turn is for saying what you do.

I agree, it is too punitive to loose your turn on a 1 on a d6...
I just wanted to know what others think.

It's needlessly punitive -- you're already going last, why layer more on top of it?

So, you did not really loose your whole turn, but ... not far from it.

I was playing with folks who applied the rule of one also to initiative results. (You would loose your turn on a one) I pointed out that ED-classic is explicit about this not being the case.
However I believe there has been a different version of this in an earlier edition saying something like:
If your initiative roll is zero due to a modifier, you would loose your turn.
This modifier could be resulting from step 1 or 2 ini due to encumbrance,wounds or other modifiers.
Has anyone seen a rule in earlier editions that supports either one case?
