When damage is done using the correct weapon FGVTT automatically applies the re-roll to any one's or two's rolled. However if the wielder is adding additional damage from, say a divine smite, or sneak attack then FGVTT also re-rolls any one's or two's for that additional damage. This is incorrect since only the damage rolled for the weapon should get the re-rolls, and not any additional damage from enhancements added by spells or whatnot.

Just wanted to be clear, the GWF is not supposed to be "rerolling" which currently in FG VTT it's working correctly by not rerolling but changing all 1s and 2s to 3s. (this is correct). Where the issue is that it's also doing this min dice value on all damage dice even extra damage like sneak attack, or smite.
It should only be changing the weapon damage itself and not any added damage from features, skills, powers etc.

Good Day MrDDT :)
Is this for 5E 2024? I believe 5E 2014 is still a reroll. :)

I just wanted to add that after a little bit more testing this also applied to Hunter's mark (spell) and Divine Strike (War Cleric level 7) but not to Collosus slayer (Hunter Ranger level 3). Seems to be the conditional IFT that stops the damage rolls from having a floor of 3.

Yes the link is for 2024 rules.

EDIT: Nvm, I'm too burntout to remember that it was DMG roll and not ATK roll *facepalm*
But I checked PHB and there was no such feat with the same name or does the reroll, maybe that's why it doesn't work on my 2014 campaign.

Just pushed an update to adjust the 2024 Great Weapon Fighting built-in support to only work on the "weapon dice". Please run a new Check for Updates.
