Hi there fellow pathfinder players and DMs,
I’m posting my first question ever on this boards and i hope that someone can answer my question(s), if possible with source.
Right now one of the campaigns I’m playing is a Wrath of the Righteous campaign and we just finished the third book.
I’m playing a paladin there with the champion mythic path (great choice).
My question is about multipliers and if they stack.
In my case right now i have a strength score of (15 base +2 race (human) +6 belt +3 points of the level ups (4, 8, 12) and +6 from mythic (2 from the base path abilities you can choose and 4 (2+2) from 2nd and 4th mythic rank) 32. So a +11 modifier.
I’m using radiance which is a +3 weapon right now.
So if two-handed its 16 from my strength +3 from radiance for +19. I’m also using mythic power attack which gives me +3 damage (instead of 2) +3 for every 4 BAB ( so 4 times right now) for 12 damage x1,5 because I’m two-handing the weapon for 18. So +27 damage in total.
If I use smite it deals 12 damage right now. 24 on my first hit against a demon for example. I also use vital strike, improved and mythic version so I should get one attack off with 1d6 (because radiance is a scimitar because my paladin’s deity is sarenrae) +51 x3 because of my vital strike and the mythic version I get 3d6+103 right?
I also have the mythic improved crit feat for a x3 crit modifier. I have the trait connected to the champion path so i can spend a mythic point for another +1 on my crit modifier for a x4 crit on 15-20 (because improved crit feat on scimitar).
If I crit now i deal 12d6+412 right? And I can make my special mythic attack for my mythic rank (5) on damage rolls which is also mulitplied by the mythic vital strike so i get +15 from it because it would be multiplied in a crit and 15x4 in a crit is another +60 damage for a total of 472.
Am I correct thus far?
Furthermore: at level 20, with like 40 strength I would have
+15 strength x1,5= 22
Mythic power attack 18 x1,5= 27
Radiance +5
Smite 40
1d6 scimitar (we calculate with 6)
For 100 damage. Times 4 for the greater vital strike and mythic is 400. Right?
Times 4 crit (which i could boost with another mythic thing of 6th champion tier called perfect strike with another 1 so actually x5) = 5x400= 2000
Now there is the legendary weapon ability foe biting. X2 damage for one mythic point. X2 damage for 2 mythic points on a crit. For another 2000 damage = 4000 damage.
Are there any flaws or errors i missed?
I could see that i misscalculated the extra d6 from vital strike but like that it’s a bit easier.
The problem is: our DM is likely to quit DMing the AP because of that kind of stupid overpower-ness and I don’t want that.
So if theres anything i made wrong please let me know. I think i can look for the links for everything but it’s pretty late right now.
I hope this isn’t ending uncommented, thank you for your help.

The extra damage from Vital Strike do not multiply on a crit.
These extra weapon damage dice are not multiplied on a critical hit, but are added to the total.
Everything else multiplies.
so greater mythic vital strike = 1d6+X + 3(1d6+X)
a crit with greater mythic vital strike = 4(1d6+X) + 3(1d6+X)
First of all: I appreciate your fast reply and thank you for your feedback.
That’s what I thought. Another problem is: one of our players just ignores mythic and the other two don’t deal that absurd amount of damage and one-shot bosses if they get buffed (like divine power which also hightens my strength). And if our DM would adjust the encounters he would likely kill everyone except me.

I updated my initial response.
So it’s 4d6 + (4x (greater vital strike) 5x (crit) 2x (foe biting)
Strength
Smite
Weapon bonus (example +5)
Buffs
So its 4d6+ (in my case 40x 94) = 4d6+3760. Which is not like really much.
Improved mithycal vital strikes even allows me to multiplie things that normally wouldnt on a crit like holy.
Mythic vital strike:
Whenever you use Vital Strike, Improved Vital Strike, or Greater Vital Strike, multiply the Strength bonus, magic bonus, and other bonuses that would normally be multiplied on a critical hit by the number of weapon damage dice you roll for that feat.
Extra damage from sources that wouldn’t normally be multiplied on a critical hit isn’t multiplied by this feat.
Impr.:
Whenever you use Vital Strike, Improved Vital Strike, or Greater Vital Strike, multiply all damage (even damage from sources that wouldn’t normally be multiplied on a critical hit) by the number of weapon damage dice you roll for that feat.
Thanks again for your reply.
