Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Great Weapon Master GWM Feat

This feat does not work like it does in table top D&D. You should be able to choose whether you want to take the -5 penalty to attack for the +10 damage bonus before you attack. Having a permanent -5 to attack is brutal and not how the feat was designed. There are times and monsters you will want to use it and times you won’t. Can this please be changed?

Wait... Are feats in the game now? I totally missed that!

At level 4 you can trade out the ability score increase for a feat, just like in 5e.

+1

power attack however implemented is a togglabe action or stance, not a permanent tradeoff

Agreed!

Agreed 100 +1

Agreed. Change this.

It does work. Look at your Reactions tab click down one as your Attack of oppurtunity and Riposte attack will take the first two. You will see a selection for GWM attacks. What doesn't work is the bonus attack on a kill or a crit.
