for the two handed fighter archetype, the overhand chop ability is described as:
Quote:
Overhand Chop (Ex): 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.
does that mean that he would get 1.5 times his strength as normal for using a two handed weapon, PLUS another strength bonus on top of that?
the ability doesn't say it REPLACES the str x1.5 to str x2, it says it just adds another str bonus on top of it(implying str x2.5).
so does an 18 str two handed fighter using a greatsword get 2d6+8 or 2d6+10?

I wish they'd get better at editing for this kinda ambiguity. It actually seems to say you get str x 3.5. 1.5 for normal, then another x2 for overhand chop. (I'm sure that's wrong, but that's what the language says)

It never tells you to add them together. It just says you add double the strength bonus.
