I realize that this is a dead thread, but it was a logical place to put my question, instead of starting a new thread.

I would like a clarification on exactly how this maneuver works. It seems that there are two options, based on the wording of this section


So lets assume we have a Hero who is using Furious Rage (ta) and Concentrated Rage, attacking with a speed 4 weapon.

Option One
Tick 1: Attack with Concentrated Rage, Avoidance penalty becomes -1. Hero has recovery of 1
Tick 5: Basic attack against the same target. Avoidance penalty hits 0.
Tick 9: Any attack against target, +1 damage bonus. Hero has recovery X.
Tick 1: Basic attack against the same target, +2 damage bonus
Tick 5: Any attack against target, +3 damage bonus. Hero has recovery X
(and so on)

Option Two
Tick 1: Attack with Concentrated Rage, Avoidance penalty becomes -1. Hero has recovery of 1
Tick 5: Basic attack against the same target.
Tick 9: Concentrated Rage attack against target, Avoidance penalty hits 0. Hero has recovery 1.
Tick 1: Basic attack against the same target.
Tick 5: Concentrated Rage attack against target, +1 damage bonus. Hero has recovery 1
(and so on)

I am guessing that the intention was probably option two, but the wording of the maneuver seems to suggest the first one.

For example, if you make 4 Concentrated Rage attacks with a Greatsword and have a 4 Resolve, you have 0 penalty to Avoidance and +4 damage to all attacks. (Remember, though, this is a static bonus from a Martial Technique and would not stack with other static bonuses from Techniques....like Mighty Swing)
