Thus the rule about combining spell bonuses is circumvented because in fact when your size changes you lose your old bonus and gain a new, larger bonus.

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"..

How many points does an ability damage penalty?

What does the Constitution bonus do?
Constitution represents your character’s health and stamina. A Constitution bonus increases a character’s hit points, so the ability is important for all classes.

What is the minimum wisdom score needed to cast a spell?
Clerics, druids, and rangers get bonus spells based on their Wisdom scores. The minimum Wisdom score needed to cast a cleric, druid, or ranger spell is 10 + the spell’s level.

How long does it take for an ability score to increase?

How can I increase my character's ability score?
A character can increase an individual score by spending some of his points. Likewise, he can gain more points to spend on other scores by decreasing one or more of his ability scores. No score can be reduced below 7 or raised above 18 using this method. See Table: Ability Score Costs for the costs of each score.
Is skill bonus retroactive?
“All bonuses are retroactive when an ability score increases, be they bonuses to damage, to skill ranks, to hit points, to saves, to skill checks… all of them. Skill ranks not being retroactive are a 3.5 convention we specifically removed from the game because it was a weird exception to the rule, and since now there are no exceptions to this rule, there’s no need to specifically state that skill ranks are retroactively granted if your Intelligence goes up.”
