The Overhand Chop ability of the Two-Handed Fighter Archetype says this:
At 3rd level, when a two-handed fighter makes a single attack (with the attack action or a charge) with a two-handed weapon, he adds double his Strength bonus on damage rolls.
This ability replaces Armor Training 1.
Is there supposed to be an "instead" there? Are they serious that a Fighter with 18 STR holding a Greatsword in both hands attacking gets to add not only 1.5 times his STR modifier to the attack, but then ALSO adds twice his STR modifier on top of that?!
I feel like there should be an "instead" there, but I cannot tell.
It is instead of, not in addition to.

There have been several threads on it in the past.
It gives you an extra .5 strength mod. And really, that aint bad.
The author talks about it here.
It's instead.
yeah, with a 18 in strength its +8 damage instead of +6. Also, at 15th lvl with improved power attack you'll be going -3 to attack for +12 damage instead of +9, couple that with double strength bonus for all attacks and chances are you'll outdamage any barbarian.
