[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7868863, member: 996"] Cool! I hadn't given half a thought to balance... Not really balance, and, you-grant-it has it's downsides, too. [B][/B]5e has opportunity attacks, so I figured it should otherwise conform to them. [B][/B]Yeah, I was concerned about it being 'free,' too. [B][/B]I'd rather find some other way to ramp it down that going to reactions again. The idea is that your recklessness leaves you open, but taking advantage of it leaves the enemy open, so you're not reacting... Part of the problem is that there's too much use for reactions, already, they're a very limited resource compared to OAs in 4e or AoOs in 5e. I actually considered making one style grant you extra reactions for specific purposes, corresponding to Extra Attack, but I figured I'd leave that a separate issue... ...and as long as I brought that up, I think it'd be nice to append something like this to Extra Attack: When you use the Attack Action to take an Extra Attack on your turn, you can also make an attack when allowed to do so as a Reaction before the start of your next turn, without expending your Reaction. If you are entitled to make two or three extra attacks, you may do so a second or third time. Once you expend your Reaction for any other purpose than attacking, however, it is gone. [/QUOTE]
