If I simply wield a Katana, my Strength damage bonus is +4.
If I wield a Katana with two hands, my Strength bonus goes from +4 to +6. Yes?
If I Power Attack with a Katana, the Power Attack gives +2 damage, with an extra +1 if I wield it two-handed. Yes?
That brings my damage bonus to +9 if I Power Attack two-handed. Yes?
Thanks for the help!
Well, it kinda depends on your BAB (for PA, as the bonus is higher with higher BAB) and your strength bonus does not actually become 6(you just add 1.5*your strength bonus to damage), but yeah.
The final damage bonus with 18 strength and 1 to 3 BAB is 9.
4*1.5+2*1*1.5=6+3=9
Short answer: Yes, you calculated it right (assuming your character has BAB lower than 4).
If I wield a Katana with two hands, my Strength bonus goes from +4 to +6. Yes?
On a side note, as Teller of Tales wrote, your Str does not go up: this means that you do not add 1,5xStr mod to hit, just to damage.

I figured that was the case. Thanks for clarifying!
