Hello, looking for some clarity on using frenzy from barbarian and using great weapon fighting. Frenzy gives and extra set of d6s and great weapon fighting gives you, damage rolls with that weapon - 1s and 2s are 3s from then on. I would believe that Frenzy's damage (because its extra melee attack damage) would still fall under GWF ability.
Can anyone confirm? Or is this a try and slide it by the dm situation?
Per Sage Advice (see here) the effect of Great Weapon Fighting only benefits the damage dice of the weapon used for the attack, not any extra damage dice added by other effects.
That said, by all means ask your DM about it; Great Weapon Fighting is close to useless with this restriction on it, so some DMs might allow lifting it on the grounds that it makes things more fun.
