"The first step of any combat is this: the DM determines whether anyone in the combat is {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} (reread \"{@book Combat Step by Step|PHB|9|Combat Step by Step}\" in the {@book Player's Handbook|PHB}). This determination happens only once during a fight and only at the beginning. In other words, once a fight starts, you can't be {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} again, although a hidden foe can still gain the normal benefits from being unseen (see \"{@book Unseen Attackers and Targets|PHB|9|Unseen Attackers and Targets}\" in the {@book Player's Handbook|PHB}).",
"To be {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised}, you must be caught off guard, usually because you failed to notice foes being stealthy or you were startled by an enemy with a special ability, such as the {@creature Gelatinous Cube||gelatinous cube's} Transparent trait, that makes it exceptionally surprising. You can be {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} even if your companions aren't, and you aren't {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} if even one of your foes fails to catch you unawares.",
"If anyone is {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised}, no actions are taken yet. First, initiative is rolled as normal. Then, the first round of combat starts, and the {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|unsurprised} combatants act in initiative order. A {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} creature can't move or take an action or a {@book reaction|PHB|9|Reactions} until its first turn ends (remember that being unable to take an action also means you can't take a bonus action). In effect, a {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised} creature skips its first turn in a fight. Once that turn ends, the creature is no longer {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised}.",
"In short, activity in a combat is always ordered by initiative, whether or not someone is {@quickref Surprise|PHB|3|0|surprised}, and after the first round of combat has passed, surprise is no longer a factor. You can still try to hide from your foes and gain the benefits conferred by being hidden, but you don't deprive your foes of their turns when you do so."
