Does great weapon master work with longbow?

Now hear me out, Great Weapon Master I know is meant for heavy melee weapons, but still technically works for a longbow. 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.

Can you use great weapon master with a longsword?

Yes, the first part of the feat applies to ANY melee weapon, because it does not specify any criteria, other than ‘melee weapon’. The second part applies only to heavy weapons, because it makes a specific point of it. It’s nice that the feat isn’t entirely useless if you shift between a greatsword and sword-and-board.

Can you use great weapon master on multiple attacks?

Note the emphasized text in each. Great Weapon Master is a choice made on each attack, while Reckless Attack is made before the first attack and applies to the whole turn. So, you can turn GWM on or off for each attack.

Can thunderous smite crit?

You absolutely can. It’s a bonus action to cast the spell, and no other action to use divine smite, as you just need to hit a creature.

Is wrathful smite good?

You should be using Wrathful Smite, it’s pretty good as frightened is a good condition and to get out of the spell it’s a wisdom CHECK, not a save, which the spells makes them take at disadvantage. Thunderous Smite is better than a Smite with a first level spell at early levels since you get the push and prone too.
