So I've got an elven wizard in PFS with a really high initiative. It's high enough that I have some concerns that I have calculated it wrong. At level 1 I have +15 to my
Initiative. Here are my bonuses.
+3 from dexterity (dex bonus)
+4 from improved initiative (generic bonus)
+2 fleet footed alternate racial trait (racial bonus)
+2 warrior of old (trait bonus)
+4 greensting scorpion familiar (generic bonus)
Does this appear to be on the up and up? Some people were skeptical when I got a 34 for initiative in the first combat.

Yes, but the greensting scorpion only offers a +2 bonus.
Edit: Also, the formal term is 'untyped' rather than 'generic' bonus. Not that it really matters, people will know what you are talking about.
Good to know it's referenced as untyped at not generic. If you are looking at the SRD in the familiar list it shows greensting as +2, but when you look at the scorpions description it says +4. Regardless, thanks for the clarification.

Interesting. I could see +4 being correct as the other familiar bonuses are at the same power level as a full feat.
