Give the two options. Let the gm choose when the mod applies. Just for ties. First round mod. Fix mod. Etc...

Here's the latest revision based on comments (attached).

I'm not too set on the idea of having too many special cases for weapon speeds, so I put bows in the "medium" speed range for now.

I also noticed that Swords & Wizardry adds a "held initiative" phase; it works differently from holding init in BFRPG, which might be confusing; and in the spirit of being more true to Moldvay B/X I left it out for now.

There's also a lot of confusion about BFRPG pg 15, on spell disruption: does attacked mean "attacked" or "attacked and hit".) In the spirit of the original rules, I imagine it means "attacked and hit."

See this thread about new test for that passage.

"Any melee attack, even a failed attack, will disrupt spell casting, but only a successful missile weapon attack may do so."

It's not how I play, but it's BtB.

I'm in the process of play testing some of these ideas and may finish up the supplement at some point.
