You do not have to take a -to hit ever, but you only get the +10 on your first hit in the turn. It gives a bigger bonus in regular conditions, but it does not scale with additional attacks as much.DPR for level 1 PCs:Fighter: 6.85Champion: 6.85GWM Fighter: 9.71GWM Champion: 9.71GWM Fighter No 10: 7.82GWM Fighter ProfDmg: 7.94GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 9.33GWM 1 / Turn: 9.5GWM 10 on first hit: 14.95DPR for level 1 PCs with advantage:Fighter: 9.46Champion: 9.46GWM Fighter: 17.23GWM Champion: 17.23GWM Fighter No10: 11.55GWM Fighter ProfDmg: 12.63GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 14.87GWM 1 / Turn: 16.2GWM 10 on first hit:21.49DPR for level 20 PCs:Fighter: 32.6Champion: 35.4GWM Fighter: 39.2GWM Champion: 45.08GWM Fighter No10: 34.83GWM Fighter ProfDmg: 28.3GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 37.45Keira no GWM: 57.58Keira w/ GWM: 73.94GWM 1 / Turn: 28.34GWM 10 on first hit: 44.90DPR for level 20 PCs with advantage:Fighter: 44.85Champion: 49.89GWM Fighter: 66.35GWM Champion: 78.28GWM Fighter No10: 49.95GWM Fighter ProfDmg: 49.33GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 65.33Keira no GWM: 73.66Keira w/ GWM: 118.13GWM 1 / Turn: 47.98GWM 10 on first hit:60.26DPR for level 20 PCs against CR 1 enemies:Fighter: 47Champion: 49.8GWM Fighter: 78.75GWM Champion: 82.25GWM Fighter No10: 56.73GWM Fighter ProfDmg: 58.38GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 79.75Keira no GWM: 67.06Keira w/ GWM: 118.43GWM 1 / Turn: 56.2GWM 10 on first hit: 68.38DPR for level 20 PCs against CR 1 enemies with advantage:Fighter 50.61Champion 55.65GWM Fighter 103.51GWM Champion 109.81GWM Fighter No10 63.26GWM Fighter ProfDmg 82.39GWM Fighter 2*ProfDmg: 108.71Keira no GWM 76.03Keira w/ GWM 146.33GWM 1 / Turn: 70.06GWM 10 on first hit: 73.26To the OP, I will say that I have never had an issue with GWM as it is. Keira was a PC in my campaign, and her level 20 DPR is posted. During dangerous times, the wizard would cast foresight on her, giving her advantage on every attack. Even then, the damage was manageable. Sometimes she cleaved through waves of enemies, and sometimes the Advantage from foresight was neutralized.</blockquote>
