I've always thought Reckless Attack was a little weird in a narrative sense? Like it's a pretty game-y way of rendering the intended idea, that you're dropping your guard entirely for a (hopefully) killing blow. But as is, you could make your Reckless Attack, and spend the rest of your turn doing decidedly non-reckless things, and still have advantage on incoming attacks even though the moment's passed.
I was thinking about an alternate way of doing Reckless Attack, maybe as like an OCF, and an idea I quite liked on paper was; when you make a Reckless Attack, the creature(s) you attack recklessly can spend their reaction to attack you with advantage. So it basically acts as another condition for an attack of opportunity, just with advantage. I don't know that I'm entirely sold on this part, but. I may like it being that, whichever roll is higher lands first, so if you and your opponent have 1HP each, it's a dramatic clash.
I think something like this might help move it closer to the intended drama of it. Something in the vein of this moment from Berserk 1997 (or this one, though slightly different).
