The plainest and most natural reading is that you decide to RA and then you roll both dice. This is backed up, as [USER=59057]@UngeheuerLich[/USER] says, by the general advantage rolling rule. It is also backed up by the narrative logic which is offered for the action, which is attacking with total abandon and disregard for your own safety (evinced by the penalty to defense you get in return). I don't see how you could narratively explain that you "kinda maybe made a reckless attack, but only if the regular attack wasn't going to succeed." The other DMs in your AL may do it how they do it, and maybe that's helping make the barbarian reasonably effective, but it plainly is not what the person authoring the rule thought they were saying. If I was asked to make a ruling on what was 'RAW', I'd have to veto any notion of rolling extra dice after the fact, hands down. Again, I don't have an issue with people running games the other way, that's cool, just more of a tweak to the rules IMHO.</p></blockquote><p></p>
