The default set of dice used by Pathfinder (or D&D, as you mentioned in the question body, they use the same) would be: a 4 sided die a 6 sided die an 8 sided die a 10 sided die a 12 sided die a 20 sided die a 10 sided die numbered 00, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90

What is the best size of dice for gaming?
Chunkier and a bit heavier than their 16mm siblings, 19mm dice make excellent, easy-to-read game dice, particularly for tabletop games requiring 1 to 3 dice. This is also the size of gaming dice used in casinos. Shop for 19mm dice now!
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.

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).
What is a 5mm dice used for?
5mm Dice (3/16") These extremely small dice can be used for gaming if you've got limited space for rolling (and good eyesight), but they're even better to use as game markers or to track points or scores on game units or cards. They're also great for creative applications such as crafts, decorations, jewelry, or artwork.
What is the standard size of a dice?
Dice are measured in millimeters (mm) from side to side, and while dice can range in size from 5mm all the way up to 100mm or more, there are a few dice sizes that are considered "standard": 5mm, 12mm, 16mm, 19mm, 25mm, and 50mm.
What size dice do you use for board games?
These half-inch dice are frequently found in board games (although they are not as common as the 16mm dice). They're good to use when you need to roll many dice at once, since 8-10 will fit comfortably in the palm of your hand.

How big is a 16mm dice?
One inch is equvalent to 25.4 millimeters, so a 16mm dice is roughly 2/3 of an inch in size, and a 19mm dice is about 3/4 of an inch. With all the sizes of dice available, it's sometimes hard to know which size you need. Is a 12mm dice big enough to easily game with?

Can you stack dice together?
Because of the large size of these dice, they're typically produced in lightweight foam. Sturdy enough to use in a classroom, they're also great for party games. Or you can stack them or adhere them together to create some cool game room decor!
Just went through every GM's worst nightmare
Last week, my party killed the bbeg of rise of the runelords. This week, we had the epilogue slated, and were going to start character creation for shattered star. A few weeks back, i started writing down the notes for the ending, and ended up with 4 pages of summary, as i went back through every npc the party met and gave them a story ending.
probably an unpopular opinion, but I think lovecraft stuff in Pathfinder is bad
Yeah I know "I can just take it out in my campaigns" but I feel that it's inclusion clashes with the lore of Pathfinder and even cheapens it. Like you discuss "Most powerful god in pathfinder" and someone will of course bring out the lovecraft stuff.
I found an obscure Pathfinder reference in 5e's new Ravenloft book
I've been reading through 5e's new Van Richten's Guide to Ravenloft, which has Wes Schneider as the lead designer, and I ran across this plot hook that felt familiar to me:
I think my rogue has the wrong idea about "Taking 20"
They seem to think that it's basically just a more extreme version of Taking 10 - that as long as you have plenty of time, it's basically an auto-success, so they'll try to use it for things like Climbing a castle wall or trying to steal a couple extra gold pieces from the Barbarian while they're sleeping (those two are always trying to prank each other in-game - the Barbarian keeps trying to grapple and throw the rogue into combat or trap-rooms) - but I'm pretty sure that if they actually "Took 20" on things like that, they'd essentially auto-fail, right?.
I've been playing the same PC for 4 years and want to move on. GM isn't making it easy
4 years ago I started playing a Witch in a weekly PF group. After 4 years, she's only level 8 and I'm burnt out on her. Since last year I've floated the idea of retiring her and making a new PC and my GM has strongly discouraged it.
Should I kill one of my PCs?
Got a level 3 bard with an absurdly high constitution, always takes the lead in combat, then gets butthurt when he gets injured in combat.
How do I create the atmosphere of a suppressed city?
So, I want my player to go into a hostile city, where especially elves are getting suppressed by the government. The police of the city should be inquisitors, preventing any kind of magic and treating the citizens of the city bad and cruel.
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?
Monster Advancement
The following rules allow you to adjust monsters, increasing (or even decreasing) their statistics and abilities while still creating a balanced and fun encounter.
Adding Racial Hit Dice
Adding racial Hit Dice to a monster is a similar process to building a monster from scratch. As additional Hit Dice are added, other abilities increase in power as well. Additional Hit Dice usually results in better attack bonuses, saves, hit points, and skills, as well as more feats.
Adding Class Levels
Of all the methods of advancing a monster, adding class levels requires the most adjudication and careful comparison. Some classes truly add to the power and abilities of some monster types, while others do not. For example, adding levels of barbarian to a hill giant can be a great addition, whereas adding levels of sorcerer is less useful.
How many steps can you take in a round?
You can’t take more than one 5-foot step in a round, and you can’t take a 5-foot step in the same round that you move any distance. You can take a 5-foot step before, during, or after your other actions in the round. You can only take a 5-foot-step if your movement isn’t hampered by difficult terrain or darkness.
Can you take a 5 foot step?
You can only take a 5-foot-step if your movement isn’t hampered by difficult terrain or darkness. Any creature with a speed of 5 feet or less can’t take a 5-foot step, since moving even 5 feet requires a move action for such a slow creature.
