Does the Great Weapon Master +10 damage apply to Divine Smite?

Or does it not?

Nope

Divine smite just adds 2d8 damage to the attack, so if you are using great weapon master with say, a greatsword you would do 2d6 + 2d8 + str + 10

Crit should double the radiant damage tho.

toggle smite to 'ask me' under your spell book and use them when the target still has hp. Its bonus damage

Depends on the spell slot you use. It's 2d8 for a level 1 slot with an additional +1d8 per level uspscaled (to 5d8 max for a level 4 slot). It used to go up to 7d8 for a level 6 slot but Larian capped it. A critical hit does double the radiant damage.

The +10 to damage is added to the base weapon damage of the Smite attack. If you're playing a paladin you should manage your reactions so you can select whether you want to use a smite or not.

Okay; that's better.

Savage Attacker is better than GWM for paladins because of the sheer amount of dice you roll.
