[QUOTE="TrueBagelMan, post: 7993813, member: 7021453"] Now hear me out, Great Weapon Master I know is meant for heavy melee weapons, but still technically works for a longbow. If you used as an improvised weapon it technically is a heavy weapon used as melee. To use the damage increase it needs to be a heavy weapon and used for melee. Not a melee weapon that’s heavy. Did I find an interesting way to use GWM or did I just read it wrong? Great Weapon Master Feat. You’ve learned to put the weight of a weapon to your advantage, letting its momentum empower your strikes. You gain the following benefits: [LIST] [*]On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action. [*]Before you make a melee attack with a heavy weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack’s damage.
