Part of Sid's CE. You decide who goes first each round regardless of initiative check, unless you roll a 1. Doesn't this mean he counters the MTB? An opponent's initiative check result automatically becomes 1.

As it reads, unless I physically Roll a One, Sid should still determine who goes first, thus countering the MTB, correct? Why or Why not?

No. Your roll becomes a NATURAL One. To the best of my knowledge

According to the FAQ, Tactics Broker changes your roll into a 1.

Quote:
Q: How does Tactics Broker interact with Recon or Anticipation?
A: Multiple rolls and rerolls still result in the selected final roll being considered a 1. Only in the case of a tie (that is, the player with Tactics Broker also rolling a 1) would the Tactics Broker ability be lost.

Init rules get confusing. Everything works just fine on its own but gets confusing when you start to mix things together. So confusing in fact that I put this together:

As far as I know it's consistent with all rulings. Let me know if you find a ruling that contradicts it and I'll update it.

Sid uses the same wording as master tactician

Master Tactician (You automatically choose who goes first except on a roll of 1)

so it isn't any different than the MTB/Master Tac interaction which was well defined by WOTC.
