Description
When using the GroupInitiative script in a DnD 5e game, the initiative_style is not considered when rolling a players initiative. There are classes where they get to roll with advantage and the initiative_style is used to signify that.
There is a workaround at the moment, which is to have the characters with an alternative initiative style to roll their own initiative.

Research direction
Start by locating the GroupInitiative script and the code that handles initiative_style when rolling player initiative. Reproduce the issue with a DnD 5e character whose initiative style grants advantage, then verify that the script applies that style instead of requiring a manual roll.
