On p. 357 of 5er, under "BEGINNING COMBAT" it reads, "Unless the GM rules otherwise, combat always begins on Segment 12. This gives everyone a chance to act then take a Post-Segment 12 Recovery..."
However, in the SPEED CHART and SPEED QUICK-REFERENCE TABLE, I noticed that characters/monsters with Speed 1 do not act in Segment 12.
I see no reason why Speed 1 characters would not get their Post-Segment 12 Recovery, but do they get to act in the first Segment 12 on entering combat(and thereafter in Phase 7)? Or do they skip the initial Phase 12, resulting in everyone else getting at least two attacks prior to them receiving a phase?
