MoMF and Black Pudding

[GimbleRaulnor]

So.. it finally happened last night: One of my players (playing a druid 5 / MoMF 8) wildshaped into a Black Pudding...


I've got a few questions regarding the Split ability of a Black Pudding combined with Wildshape:

Split (Ex) Slashing and piercing weapons deal no damage to a black pudding. Instead the creature splits into two identical puddings, each with half of the original’s current hit points (round down). A pudding with 10 hit points or less cannot be further split and dies if reduced to 0 hit points.

1. What would be the new size of the splitted puddings?
2. How much damage would the splitted puddings be able to deal?
3. What happens when a splitted wildshaped character changes back to her normal form?

Also, when changing into an ooze, would a character gain the bonus hp for size?

1. split puddings by RAW remain the same size
2.same damage
3. IMHO 50% bodymass missing, most likely fatal


not sure on HP

Ahh, thank you. Looks like I'll have to houserule a bit

You know, until the MoMF is errata'd, this won't work. You can't wildshape into a creature with more hit dice than your druid level. MoMF doesn't currently stack with druid levels for this.

Now THAT is good news. For me, the DM, at least

This brings up another question:

Is there a feat that raises one's druid level for wildshape? (Like the Practised Spellcaster raises spellcaster level by 4, to a max if the character's HD.)

Note, however, that it's basically unofficial errata at this point. It was written with the intent to stack (and therefore not be useless), however the line was left out of the printing.

How do you know?

Thank you

It makes sense anyway. A wildshaping PrC that doesn't stack with druids for HD? Nah...
