So I've made a Fighter who has Great Weapon Fighting as his level 1 fighting style. When I finish the character, it says "Two-Weapon Fighting" in the actions part of the character sheet, a style I have not selected anywhere.
Every single character gets Two-Weapon Fighting because it's an action everybody can do. It is irrelevant if you're not using two valid weapons. So just ignore it.
The Two-Weapon Fighting Action is not the Two-Weapon Fighting Fighting Style. Best not to get them mixed up - despite it being extremely easy to do given the stupid naming.
Hi.
So I've made a Fighter who has Great Weapon Fighting as his level 1 fighting style. When I finish the character, it says "Two-Weapon Fighting" in the actions part of the character sheet, a style I have not selected anywhere.
Anyone know what I can do to fix this?
Thanks

Ya, the naming confusing! I might suggest the name be changed?
Bit late for that now I feel. It's been like that since 5e released. If it was going to get errata'd it would have been done so by now.
And DNDBeyond can't do anything about it because they have to keep the rules as written by WotC - so their hands are tied.

Anyone else literally groan out loud when they saw this "bug" reported again? It seems like this gets reported once a week.
Fighting style = class feature. Two weapon fighting bonus action = general rules.
Why WotC named a general action and a common class feature option the same thing? Clearly they weren't thinking.
