While raging, when you use the Vital Strike feat, you can choose not to roll your damage dice and instead deal damage equal to the maximum roll possible on those damage dice. If you do, your rage immediately ends, and you are fatigued (even if you would not normally be).
What damage dice does Furious Finish actually maximize?
Is it just the weapon's damage dice? Does that include the extra weapon damage dice from Vital Strike, Improved, etc? If the weapon is flaming does that get maximized? What about a Barb/Rogue; is their Sneak Attack maximized?
Weapon dice. Extra dice from anything else don't get maximized if I'm not mistaken. That's how it works for multipliers, anyway.
The dice from Vital Strike are maximised, as that is the whole point of the feat. At no point it talks about weapon damage dice.
*rereads Vital Strike, Furious Finish*
Looks like it doesn't say. It would either be both weapon and VS dice or just VS dice. Apart from that, I have no idea just from reading it.

Thanks for the input! I was really struck back by the feat at first while browsing feats for my Barb/Rogue in PFS.
It makes sense to just maximize weapon damage (and Vital Strike damage as it is a multiplier to weapon damage dice).
The feat needs an errata or an FAQ entry explaining this, however, otherwise others might be asking this same question themselves.
I'd be surprised if it was all dice. I think it is the base weapon dice plus the vital strike. My only question is if it applies to improved and greater vital strike and devastating stike etc.
i am not maximized critical dices??
I don't see why you shouldn't maximize the extra dices you roll on a critical hit. Why? Because the dice you roll 'multiple times' is the 'weapon damage dice'. All the other dice or bonuses to damage come from other things than just the weapon.
Good luck ever having an opportunity to make that happen. You will need exactly that to pull it off.
