Here is the situation. My fighter has a rapier and the Vital Strike feat. Let's say he rolls a 20 and confirms the critical hit. For a usual critical hit, I roll 2d6 (plus strength bonus x2) for damage. If using Vital Strike in this situation, how many dice do I roll? Is it 3d6 (plus strength bonus x2) or 4d6 (plus strength bonus x2)?
RAW is
Benefit: When you use the attack action, you can make one attack at your highest base attack bonus that deals additional damage. Roll the weapon’s damage dice for the attack twice and add the results together before adding bonuses from Strength, weapon abilities (such as flaming), precision-based damage, and other damage bonuses. These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.
