Question: Reckless Attack and Sneak Attack

[The1Kobra]

So, question, I was hoping someone tested this:
If you have a Barbarian use Reckless attack, does the advantage that you get from the attack allow you to use Sneak Attacks?
Also, if you have an Extra Attack, can one of the attacks be a Sneak Attack? Or does the implementation in BG3 mean that if you use a sneak attack, you can't use extra attacks?
Thanks!
Edit: Tested. It does indeed work. Using Reckless attack gives sneak attack damage. Makes the DEX barbarian build quite viable.

Cant you use It with Str and enjoy rage bônus damage? A rapier shall meet ALL requirements, doesnt It?

[Xiwang]

just any finesse weapon should do the trick. daggers, rapiers, short swords...

but why? who hurt you?

[Kyutaru]

Considering there's a feat that you lets pick 3 skill proficiency, you can even turn your DEX barbarian into your rogue replacement.

[wei270]

yes you can reckless attack a sneak attack.
but sneak attack don't work with extra attack you only get one sneak attack per turn.
if you use sneak and you have extra attack you can still make another attack

WAIT, question, throwing daggers can cause sneak attacks? because you can be barbarian 5 then all to rogue and become a god throwing daggers that deal snak attack, and if you are berserker and tief you could throw 4 daggers per turn.

you ofcourse get tavern brawler and a giant hill strenght elixir. i gonna try this later, sorry karlach for what im about to do.

How do you add sneak attack to your reckless attack? They are both "active" skills that require an action to use, in this current version of the game that is. Both of these abilities should be toggle modifiers though and should be able to be stacked for one baisic attack. Making them togglable modifiers would also fix the issue where you can't apply sneak attack damage to a thrown weapon like you can in normal D&D.

no, there are two skill options for sneak attack, and one is melee, and the other one is raged (uses the weapon from your ranged set).
Sneak attack is not smotehing you can earn by just meet the conditions, it's an active skill so there's no option to use it by throwing things.

Not true, you can go check your reactions to enable them and its usually better to use them this way since using the sneak attack skill will prevent you from trying again if you miss even if you hit with another attack on your turn
