You have learned to use every weapon from the master of weapons. You are so skilled with them that you have mastered a unique fighting style, and your attacks hit their mark even when you don’t see it coming. You can attack with multiple weapons at once, striking a foe with an effective flurry of blows.
Great Weapon Master 5e
This feat is for a player who has chosen the Great Weapon Master archetype for their character. They’ll be able to use any weapon as if they were proficient in each one until they reach level 16, after which point they’ll gain proficiency in every single martial or simple melee weapon out there.
You can use this to add +2 damage to a single-weapon attack or +1 damage with a two-weapon attack. You’ll also get the benefits of any feats that allow you to use a thrown weapon while still using your other weapons. For example, a character who uses two-weapon fighting has an incredible weapon mastery feat and wields a greatsword would get +2 damage from the accomplishment and +2 damage from sneak attack for 4d6+4 damage per hit.
It’s generally easier for players of the Great Weapon Master archetype, as it reduces the number of weapons they need to master (down from four). There are some advantages you’ll have with this feat, but be aware that you may end up losing out on some combat opportunities. The GM has the final say on how well a character does if things start spinning out of control for them at some point during a combat encounter.
