I am aware of this fact!!! no one reads it >:[

Is spirited charge a multiplier, or is it causing only my lance to cause more damage, apart from my strength and enhancements?!?!?

[MENTION=97602]Sekhmet[/MENTION] so an average hit taken at full power attack would deal:
27 - from the lance (9D6)
12 - full power attack
4 - strength
1 - enhancement
-------------------
44 x3 =132 damg
is that damage calculated correctly?

An average hit would deal:
45 - 3d6x5 Lance Damage
12 - Power Attack
4 - Strength
1 - Enhancement
---
62 damage.

Wow, I've always multiplied STR bonus on critical hit too, just not the extra damage dice like flaming or shocking or sneak attack.

I checked the SRD cause i thought for sure i was right... but i wasn't, only base weapon damage is multiplied

No.
You would deal 3d6x5+other benefits.
x3 for Spirited Charge, x3 for Critical hit.
Since only weapon damage is multiplied, this is the way that such modifiers stack.

Think of it this way, it's 3d6+(3d6+3d6 for critical)+(3d6+3d6 for spirited charge) +modifiers.



It's actually 3d6+5 rolled 5 times (the modifier is multiplied). This is RAW per PH page 114 and RC page 40.

I understand!!! so then a standard attack would deal
27 -3D6x3
12 -Power Attack
4 - Strength
1 - Enhancement
---------------
44 Damage :D

And on a devastating charge
36 - 3D6x4
12 - Power
4 - str
1 - enh
----------
53!

And a devastating crit:
54 - 3D6x6
12 - power
4 - str
1 - enh
----------
61 damage! I have figured it out!

You were right the first time. "A critical hit means that you roll your damage more than once, with all your usual bonuses, and add the rolls together."

This is wrong.
