Questions on Kensai's Perfect Strike ability


Rules Questions


In regards to the Kensai ability Perfect Strike (page 55 of Ultimate Combat) of the Magus Kensai Archetype, can it be used to maximize the damage of one die from a critical hit, such that say a rapier would do 6 (maximized damage die) + Str x 2 + 1d6 (un-maximized die) on a critical hit? Or, must he use the 2-point option that increases the critical multiplier meaning his damage becomes 3d6 + Str x 3? In essence, is the choice use 1 ki point and maximize damage on non-critical hits, and use 2 instead on critical hits to increase the multiplier, or can the Magus use 1 on normal hits and choose between the two options for the critical hits?
