Hello there

I have a question regarding initiative.

I just don´t understand the initiative rules.

Do you use the blue dice for initiative and if yes what happens if you roll boons ?

Are they converted into successes or don´t do they count at all?

thank you in advance

Blue dice, count successes only.

You would still be able to use boons (and suffer banes) universal effects wouldn't you (page 45 of rules)?

So on combat initiative "2 boons on physical action for 1 fatigue recovered", and in social initiative it would be stress at stake.

That has a kind of narrative logic, as the fight starts someones you catch your breath, calm your nerves just before diving in.

I didn't take into account that the PCs might have received stess or fatigue in story mode just before the encounter started. If that is the case, then yes, they can use the universal effects. Barring that scenario, then they have no effect as only successes count for determining initiative. There's no allowance for counting 2 boons as a success when rolling initiative or anything like that, which I think was the OP's question.
