The word Incredible sounds really cool and i thought well it must be better than plain old improved initiative from PF1, until you see you get a measly +1 to init, which seems like a cruel joke. I realize that every +1 is way more precious in PF2, but really, bumping it to +2 or have it scale with level to some extent surely wouldn't break the math?

Maybe just keep it as called improved initiative, and expectations won't be dashed by the name.

Yeah, especially since it's a typed bonus. I'd make it +2 and rename it to Improved Initiative.


But it is +1 to all rolls, perception checks, skill checks and other kinds of rolls! This is great! Just kidding, I too think the name is bogus. Literally if you had the same initiative as someone else who took that feat, there is about a 10% you will move before them, cause you win on ties if your modifier is higher. And +1 to other things isn't really init.


Actually the rules for initiative explicitly say ties between player and GM go to GM. So this feat is even less incredible XD
