I'm familiar with how initiative works in PnP, but how does initiative work in BG2?

AFAIK, initiative determines your place in the attack round, when you can attack, how many times you can attack, that sort of thing. Things like strength, dexterity, AC, and class affect initiative. This is indicated by a number. Lowest initiative goes first.

As for reaction adjustment, I'm not sure how that works in PnP or in BG2. Does this mean how fast (or how slow) you react to enemies and whatnot?
