Whenever you use Vital Strike, you deal

double the normal amount of damage, including your
Strength bonus, magic bonuses, and other bonuses
that would normally be multiplied on a critical hit.
Extra damage from sources that would not normally be
multiplied on a critical hit are not doubled by this effect.
In addition, you can use Vital Strike when making a
charge, although this multiplication does not stack with
other sources of multiplication of damage on a charge,
such as using a lance.

that first sentence is a bit grammatically ambiguous to me so if anyone can clarify:

1) does this mean that if I normally do 1d6+5 damage, with a vital strike i do 2d6+5 and with mythic vital strike i do 4d6+10, which is double the normal vital strike damage, or 2d6+10

2)if it is the 4d6+10 then does this apply to improved vital strike etc., so improved goes from 3d6 to 6d6?

thanks for any help
