📋 About This Mod
When making an attack that would miss with Great Weapon Master's -5 to hit penalty, you can react for free to negate the hit penalty and damage bonus, which can potentially result in your attack hitting.
My take on a mod that was requested.
Makes Great Weapon Master:
1. Always active
2. Grant a reaction, "Exacting Strike" that on miss, reverts your accuracy and damage to normal - this can convert a miss into a hit.
Bonus action attacks on crit or kill function as normal.
Yes, this is just as powerful as it sounds. Still probably less broken than Tavern Brawler, though 😂
Installation:
Probably requires mod fixer.
Import the .pak file through BG3MM, save and export mod load order.
You can probably install it through Vortex fine too.
Can be installed mid game - even with characters that have already taken GWM!
Uninstalling mid-game reverted GWM behaviour back to normal for me- but you really shouldn't get into the habit of uninstalling your mods mid-playthrough!
Probably not compatible with other mods that change GWM behaviour.
