Great Weapon Fighting

Back to Feats list
==Great Weapon Fighting==
===Prerequisites - Strength 18===
Fighting style focusing on attacking with a single weapon using both hands (most of the time), improving the Strength bonus multiplier when using weapons two-handed by 0.5, for a x2 total multiplier instead of x1.5. 
==Great Weapon Specialization==
===Prerequisites - Great Weapon Fighting, Strength 26, Dexterity 18, Base Attack Bonus +11===
Allows you to make you to make twice the number of attacks with a two handed weapon when using a full round action to attack, at the normal cumulative -5 on each attack for the extra attacks, and incurring a -4 on all attacks that round. For example, Thrix has 3 attacks normally, due to a +18 base attack bonus, and has +25 attack bonus total. His first three attacks are made at +21, +16, and +11, and his extra attacks are made at +6, +1, and -4. Alternatively, he can use a normal full round attack of only three attacks, doing +25, +20, and +15.
==Great Weapon Master==
===Prerequisites - Great Weapon Specialization, Strength 40, Dex 24, Base Attack Bonus +16===
As Great Weapon Specialization, but without the -4 penalty. In the above example, this would make Thrix's attacks +25, +20, +15, +10, +5, and +0, and not using this feat would simply lose three attacks, even if they have relatively very low attack bonuses and little chance of hitting.
