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
Codex of Heroes p. 109 wrote:
"Choose a target, each time you attack that target, your Avoidance penalty for being enraged is reduced by one. Once this penalty is reduced to 0, you then begin to gain a +1 cumulative bonus to damage..."
So lets assume we have a Hero who is using Furious Rage (ta) and Concentrated Rage, attacking with a speed 4 weapon.
Option OneTick 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 TwoTick 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.
