What if the exact number of original dice is not found?
If the exact number of original dice is not found on this chart, apply the following before adjusting the damage dice. If the damage is a number of d6, find the next lowest number of d6 on the chart and use that number of d8 as the original damage value (for example, 10d6 would instead be treated as 8d8).
How do you reduce the damage on a damage chart?
If the initial size is Small or lower (or is treated as Small or lower) or the initial damage is 1d6 or less, instead increase the damage by one step. If the size decreases by one step, look up the original damage on the chart and decrease the damage by two steps.
What D&D table does Pathfinder use?
6 \$\begingroup\$ Pathfinder seems to use the same table as D&D 3.5. This conclusion is from the fact that available sources (thisand that) do not contradict that 3.5 table, but rather seem to be a subset/superset. The underlying math looks like this.

Does a monk's flurry dice change if a number is called out?
If a specific number was called out (for example, with shillelagh), it does not change that number. It would also not affect the base monk, as the monk's flurry dice are not due to a size increase.
Do size changes stack?
As per the rules on size changes, size changes do not stack, so if you have multiple size changing effects (for instance an effect that increases your size by one step and another that increases your size by two steps), only the largest applies.
Does a monk's flurry dice change?
If a specific number was called out (for example, with shillelagh), it does not change that number. It would also not affect the base monk, as the monk 's flurry dice are not due to a size increase. However, if the monk were subject to an Enlarge Person, the above chart would come into play.
As a DM have your players ever lost the campaign?
My players defeated the BBEG and with her dying breathe she told my party that her death was irrelevant because she already sent her minion to detonate the magical bomb that would destroy the town.
Just wanted to share a nice moment from last session
My warpriest was stuck far enough from the frontline in our fight. Couldn’t charge, couldn’t cast anything helpful, and didn’t feel like spending the turn positioning would really lead to much. Since I was lugging around an extra +1 greatsword I had just looted, I decided to throw it.
Becoming A Force of Nature! A Druid Guide

Why the Paladin hate?
The Paladin is one of my favorite class because of they have good diplomacy and damage abilities, and they get some minor healing abilities. I also find the class as easy to role-play since you have to stay lawful good.
Do any of you know of a way to get a few corpses relatively quickly? Morality and legality need not be considered
"A few" being 2,000~. My GM is letting me make necrocrafts of sizes above colossal and that, coupled with some other things, has motivated me to make an undead castle. With legs! Obviously I need a lot of materials for this, so I'd love it if someone could give me some ideas as to how to get them.

Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Last week Paizo put up an actual comprehensive die-size increase listing in the FAQ!
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
I just wish they'd call it 'errata'. Or a 'rules update'. In the so-called FAQ, they don't even pretend that they are basing their decisions on the rules in the books. Anyways, Mark Seifter says that the 566 FAQ requests for that post was more than three times the next-highest number of FAQ requests for a single question.
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Woohoo, I can delete the table I've been keeping in my Drive folder for months.
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Eh, I'm glad they don't - the base needs to get over that lingering "FAQ is not RAW" hangup from 3.5. This is Pathfinder, and an official source is an official source. At least we know that here, the FAQ is a collaborative effort by the design team, instead of being the result of whatever Skip put in his cornflakes that morning.
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Because they arise from questions that the players ask.
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
So there is no reason they had to use FAQ (even if they want to keep it separate from errata they could still call it "clarification" or something), and when you say "the base needs to get over that lingering "FAQ is not RAW" hangup from 3.5" you could also say "people need to get over the admittingly confusing phrase Paizo chose to use because reasons"..
Re: Pathfinder Official Damage Die Size Increase Chart Thingy
Clarification, FAQ, what's really the difference other than one doesn't immediately cause a visceral reaction among certain groups?
What does it mean when a character dies in 20th level?
At 20th level, the character becomes a paragon of resilience. Once per week, if the character is killed, petrified, or otherwise removed from play, the character manages to survive by some dint of skill or luck and returns at the end of the combat or the scene (GM’s discretion). The player and the GM should work together to ensure that the method of the character’s survival is at least vaguely plausible, if unlikely. Characters of any class can select this ability.
What level does Rage Power come in?
Rage Power: At 11th level, she gains a rage power. For the purpose of which rage powers she can select, her effective barbarian level is equal to 1/2 her character level, but for the purpose of the rage power’s effect, her effective barbarian level is equal to her full character level.
What does an inquisitor gain?
Deity: At 1st level, she must select a deity within one alignment step of her alignment. She gains the inquisitor’s code of conduct and restriction on casting spells of opposed alignments.
What level does a wizard get a familiar?
Familiar: At 3rd level, he gains a familiar, treating his character level as his effective wizard level. School Power: At 7th level, he gains the 1st-level powers of his chosen school. If any of those powers grant an extra effect at 20th level, the character does not gain that extra effect.
What level does the character increase her ability score?
The character increases her ability scores by a collective total of 8. For example, she can increase one score by 8, or one score by 5 and another by 3, or four scores by 2, and so on. Characters of any class can select this ability.
How to progress beyond 20th level?
The simplest way to progress beyond 20th level is to simply multiclass or take levels in a prestige class, in which case you gain all of the abilities of the new class level normally. This effectively treats 20th level as a hard limit for class level, but not as a hard limit for total character level.
When do characters advance in level?
A character advances in level as soon as he earns enough experience points to do so—typically, this occurs at the end of a game session, when your GM hands out that session’s experience point awards.
Apparently I'm a problem player - and I genuinely don't know why
I've been contacted by my DM after our most recent session, who informed me that the other players all think that - something none of them ever told me.
Finished a 7 year campaign
Wrapped up a 7 year long campaign which took the party from lvl 1-20 last night. All homebrew, but set in Golarion so the last session was them completing their Star Stone test and ascending as a party. For all 6 players, this was the only time they had played a multi-year game and first past lvl 12 for all of them.

Want to transition to pathfinder (2E? 1E? Not sure) from DnD 5e, what are some things going into pathfinder you wish you knew when you started?
I see the crunch, and I like it. I need to train up my DnD friends a little more on the mechanics of a simpler system before moving to a more complex one such as this, but what are some important things to know for play?
What's the weirdest houserule you have ever played with?
Probably there aren't many tables that run the game 100% as written (if not for the fact that sometimes the written rules make no sense or contradict other rules). And at times they can be awesome, funny, bad, and so on.
