I've always believed this was in the core rules; that in lieu of rolling one could accept the average of a die roll for a hit die, rounded down. So instead of rolling 1d10, a player could simply take 5 for example.
But, now that I'm looking for that option, I can't find any mention of it in the core rules. I even checked my old 3.X books to see if it was something we'd held over from previous editions, but I don't see it anywhere. Did my group simply imagine this? Was this ever a core rule?

You can take 10 for most skill rolls. PFS lets you take half (round up) on hit point rolls but that's not general Pathfinder.

It isn't in the core rules at all. It IS however a popular house rule, one Paizo itself uses for it's network campaign. It's usually used with this convention; 1st level is full hit dice, subsequent ones are averaged.

Though, the 1st level full hit die is actually core rules, not just convention. Link.
