Unknown if this mechanic interaction is bugged or intended. | | | notes= When making a melee [[attack roll]], this Passive Feature is known to affect damage riders (see [[Damage Mechanics]]) such as [[Divine Smite]] and Withering Cut from [[Duellist's Prerogative]].

| * This feat does NOT apply to damage from [[Sneak Attack|Sneak Attacks]], nor [[Unarmed Strike]] (including the monk's [[Unarmed Strike (Monk)|Unarmed Strike subvariant]]).
| |
| * Each damage die is rolled twice independently, even for weapons that deal 2d6 damage.
| |
| ** For example if a 2d6 weapon rolls 1 and 5 rerolled respectively into 3 and 4, the total damage would be 3 + 5 = 8 and not 7.
| |
| * This feat essentially means you have [[advantage]] on your damage rolls. The average bonus to your damage becomes, depending on what dice the weapon uses (for the math, see [[Advantage#Application:_Savage_Attacker|the math section on the advantage page]]):
| |
| ** Weapon deals 1d4 damage: average bonus damage is 0.625 (+25.0%)
| |
| ** Weapon deals 1d6 damage: average bonus damage is 0.972 (+27.8%)
| |
| ** Weapon deals 1d8 damage: average bonus damage is 1.313 (+29.2%)
| |
| ** Weapon deals 1d10 damage: average bonus damage is 1.650 (+30.0%)
| |
| ** Weapon deals 1d12 damage: average bonus damage is 1.986 (+30.6%)
| |
| ** Weapon deals 2d6 damage: average bonus damage is 1.944 (+27.8%)
| |
| ** For example, the [[Halberd of Vigilance]] (1d10 slashing damage and 1d4 force damage) which was [[Dip#Condition:_Dipped_in_Fire|dipped in fire]] (1d4 fire damage) will, on average, do 1.65 + 0.625 + 0.625 = 2.9 (+27.6%) more damage with Savage Attacker.
