reckless attack feat

[thorian]

Is there a feat that lets you reduce your AC and increase your attack or damage? I thought I came across a feat called Reckless Attack that accomplishes this, but I can't find it in any of my books.

It's in Quintessential Fighter. Prereqs are ST 15 & Power Attack. It gives +1 dmg per -1 AC. I've altered it so it does +1 to-hit per -1 AC to a maximum of +5/-5, making it the opposite of Expertise.

And while we're talking about things outside the core rules...

I made it a combat option in my game, just like fighting defensively but the other way around

Reckless fighting - take a -4 penalty to your AC and get +2 to hit. Not modified by tumble skill!

Cheers

Plane, you might want to modify it with a negative Int modifier (if that's the case...)

Complete Warrior: The Ronin Prestige class has a similar ability for charges.
Kalamar Players Guide: Unerring Strike is something similar, you lose damage for hitting better.

I'm away from my books, but I think there a "Reckless Offensive" feat in a sidebar in a 3E WotC book. Maybe "Enemies and Allies"?

Main use is by loonies, and by armed people attacking disarmed opponents, or opponents that are so feeble that it makes the difference between being hit on a 20 and... being hit on a 20

Yup, it was Enemies and Allies. -4 to AC for +2 competence bonus to all melee attacks in the same round.

Or if you're fighting a dragon, in which case it's the difference between being missed on a 1 and being missed on a 1.

Assuming you could find a feat that didnt have a low cap on it I could see a pretty interesting build. Get Karmic strike and combat reflexes, lower your AC a bunch for extra attack(or damage with power attack). Plus whenever you get hit you get an AOO.
