If you have multiple enemies of the same type, such as four jinsul warriors, you might want to have them act on the same initiative for simplicity. If you do, you can roll initiative just once for all of them. They still take individual turns and can still individually change their initiative by Delaying. Note that a lucky initiative roll could mean the batched creatures can easily gang up on the PCs, and a terrible roll could mean they all get struck down before they can do anything, so use this technique only when necessary to keep the game moving.
