How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 3: Wildheart

Notes

• Any effects that boost jump range like the Athlete feat or  Enhance Leap will apply to Diving Strike as well.
• A stack of two crates is sufficient to get the required 1.5 m / 5 ft height advantage against a target on level ground.

Bugs

• If this attack misses and  Reckless Attack is triggered in response, the attack roll will not actually get rerolled, so it will always still miss. However, if Reckless Attack is already active, the attack roll will be made with Advantage as expected.
