Implements a RAW faithful version of Reckless Attack for the base Barbarian class (and subclasses). I got tired of doing half-fixes in my Barbarian subclass mods, so I made this for efficiency and included a full fix for the way BG3 does the ability.
Requirements

Initial release
This is fully compatible with my Barbarian subclass mods.
There are two versions - identical except one has no red glowing Reckless Attack VFX, since that can get annoying if you always keep the ability active.
Reckless Attack Starting at 2nd level, you can throw aside all concern for defense to attack with fierce desperation. When you make your first attack on your turn, you can decide to attack recklessly. Doing so gives you advantage on melee weapon attack rolls using Strength during this turn, but attack rolls against you have advantage until your next turn.
IMPLEMENTATION: Rules as Written (unarmed attacks are considered melee weapon attacks, the first attack on your turn is when the decision to must be made, you cannot decide to recklessly attack after you know you are going to miss with your attack roll, and the advantage against targets / the advantage against you last different durations). The ability is solely controlled via a hotbar toggle. Toggling on indicates you are declaring your desire to attack recklessly, and the corresponding buff & debuff will apply to your character. The choice/declaration reflected by the toggle "locks in" once you make your first attack on your turn.
Big Thanks to drkekyll for the collab on this awhile ago.
