Notes

• This passive can trigger using any melee weapon and does not require a Two-Handed or Versatile weapon. The  Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack can also be made with any melee weapon.
•  Great Weapon Master: All In does not need to be enabled for this passive to trigger.
• Defeating a creature with  Non-Lethal Damage also triggers this passive.
• This passive can be triggered multiple times in one turn, but cannot be triggered by Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack.
• Reducing a creature protected by  Death Ward to 0 hit points without killing it still grants  Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack.

Bugs

• If a character makes an attack that either starts a combat or makes the character join the first round of an in-progress combat, and the attack triggers the  Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack condition, then that condition is removed as soon as the character's turn starts. This effectively means such attacks do not grant Great Weapon Master: Bonus Attack.
• Killing a druid with the very next attack after the druid lost their  Wild Shape form, but before that druid's next turn, does not trigger this feature.
