Reckless Attack

General feat

World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game (WoW), p. 156Updated WoW RPG (3.5)

Reckless Attack is a D&D 3.5 feat (General) from WoW, p. 156. You throw caution by the wayside as you smash your opponents as hard as possible.

Prerequisite

Str 13.

Benefit

On your action, before making attack rolls for the round, you may choose to subtract a number from your AC and add the same number to all melee damage rolls. This number may not exceed your base attack bonus. The penalty to AC and bonus on damage apply until your next turn.

Special

If you attack with a two-handed weapon, or with a one-handed weapon wielded in two hands, add twice the number subtracted from your AC instead. You cannot add the bonus from Reckless Attack to the damage dealt with a light weapon (except with unarmed strikes or natural weapon attacks), even though the penalty to AC still applies. (Normally, you treat a double weapon as a one-handed weapon and a light weapon. If you choose to use a double weapon like a two-handed weapon, attacking with only one end of it in a round, you treat it as a two-handed weapon.) Warriors can select Reckless Attack as one of their warrior bonus feats.

Description

You throw caution by the wayside as you smash your opponents as hard as possible.
