| If a player is away from the table during combat when their turn comes up, other players may take their turns. The player who's away will maintain his or her overall initiative order, and may take his or her turn immediately upon returning to the table. If the other players go through a full turn, the returning player loses that turn, but remains in initiative order. A player may certainly leave instructions with other players as to what to do with his or her character during his or her absence. | If a player is away from the table during combat when their turn comes up, other players may take their turns.
