You swing wildly with your weapon, using all of your adrenaline and strength. An all or nothing swing: You either utterly fail or absolutely succeed.

Your critical success range is quadrupled, but your critical fail range increases to match it.

Examples.

• A critical success range of 20 and a critical fail range of 1 increases to a critical success range of 17-20 and a critical fail range of 1-4
• A critical success range of 19-20 and a critical fail range of 1 increases to a critical success range of 13-20 and a critical fail range of 1-8.
• A critical success range of 18-20 and a critical fail range of 1 increases to a critical success range of 9-20 and a critical fail range of 1-12.

On an overlap of critical success and critical fail (i.e. a roll of 12 on a success range of 9-20 and fail range of 1-12), there are three options (DM's discretion):

• Both a critical success and critical fail (i.e. You swing your sword so hard that, while it does critical damage, your sword gets stuck in your enemy and you no longer are holding it)
• Roll 1d2 to determine success (i.e. you rolled 11 and so flipped a coin to determine whether or not you succeeded on the knowledge check)
• DM appointed limit to critical ranges, keeping them from overlapping

This feat stacks with other feats that modify critical range and applies after the other feats and class/race abilities (i.e. if you have the Champion Fighter's Improved Critical ability, then your critical range increases from Improved Critical first, then is affected by Absolutely Reckless, increasing your critical range first to 19-20, then increasing that to 13-20.)

Note: If you play with the common houserule of critical successes on skill checks, this feat applies to that as well. Similarly for any houserolls that permit criticals for any other type of roll.
