function_description=Returns the initiative value of the specified monster {{pspan|check_me}}. If {{pspan|check_me}} is not specified, it will use the current monster if you are in a fight (i.e. you're calling the function from an [[In-combat Consulting]] script), or the last monster you encountered otherwise.</p>
<p>When the function is given a monster as a parameter it will return the monster's initiative at the start of a fight including all monster level modifications. This means that for monsters with unknown initiative, the return value will only take into account monster level.|

special=If no monster is specified and no monster has been fought in this session, this function returns 0. This is because mafia forgets the value of [[last_monster|last_monster()]] when it logs out.|
