Starfinder Forerunner archetype, pg 129, Ready for Anything wrote:
When you are able to act in the surprise round of a combat, you gain a +2 bonus to your initiative check for that combat.
How does this work if there is no surprise round? Do you still get the bonus, because you are able to act in it, even though the fight doesn't have one? Or do you only get the bonus if at least one combatant is surprised? If so, should I drag along a sidekick who's blind and deaf, so that he can be surprised in every fight?
