In film and television, a dual rule is commonly used either for comic effect or to depict identical twin s. Theatre In theatre , such as in the works of absurdism absurdists such as Tom Stoppard , characters played by the same actor may be of thematic significance. A good example of this is Tony Kushner s Angels in America , which has a cast of eight despite having many roles.

About the RPG term more meanings of initiative Initiative disambiguation Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In role playing games and some table top wargames , a character s initiative is a statistic either derived or not which determines the order in which player characters take actions, especially during combat or other forms of conflict resolution. In most systems, the players who have rolled the highest number go first, in some other systems it is the other way around, with lowest initiative going first. Initiative can be either fixed the same every time, or at least during a whole resolution or battle or can be recalculated at various intervals. Most initiative systems which are not fixed use dice , with the results forming a random element of the initiative result. Added to this random elements are positive and negative modifiers, which are caused by circumstances which make the player character react faster or slower, or are influenced by the length of task that he undertakes. For example, a lithe character one with high dexterity may react faster than others, while someone using a heavy implement or weapon may take longer. Some systems allow only one main action or multiple actions at the same time when the order reaches the point of the character, other systems allow further actions further down the initiative order.

Role and Reference Grammar RRG is a model of grammar developed by William Foley linguist William Foley and Robert Van Valin, Jr. in the 1980s, which incorporates many of the points of view of current functional grammar theories. In RRG, the description of a sentence in a particular language is formulated in terms of a its logical semantic structure and communicative functions, and b the grammatical procedures that are available in the language for the expression of these meanings. Among the main features of RRG are the use of lexical decomposition , based upon the predicate semantics of David Dowty 1979 , an analysis of clause clause structure , and the use of a set of thematic role s organized into a hierarchy in which the highest ranking roles are Actor for the most active participant and Undergoer .

Unreferenced date October 2006 A diceless role playing game is a role playing game which is not based on chance it does not use randomisers to determine the outcome of events in its role playing game system . The style of game is known as diceless because most games use dice as their randomiser some games such as Castle Falkenstein role playing game Castle Falkenstein use other randomisers such as playing cards as substitutes for dice, and are not considered diceless . Proponents of this solution argue that in all game systems, decisions are ultimately made by the GM, and rolling dice merely slows gameplay. Opponents may perceive diceless systems as more arbitrary and lacking the feeling of real unpredictability for example, the potential death of a character as a result of bad luck in a dice roll. Notable diceless games Amber Diceless Roleplaying Game uses no randomization, although secret information does create uncertainty for players Nobilis Marvel Universe Roleplaying Game uses a resource management system inspired by collectible card game s.
