I made up a number of tables to show the possible total initiative scores given a base initiative and a number of initiative dice. The tables are based on a natural initiative of 2 to 13 and up to +3 from reaction enhancers.
The colors are use to denote how many actions your final initiative will give you. I include a step between each 10 to indicate when you have enough initiative to take an interrupt action without losing a full action.

After looking at the tables I think the base initiatives to aim for are:
1 die - 8 or 9
2 die - 12
3 die - 14
4 die - 12 (17 if you can get there)
Any thoughts?
