My Master of Many Forms has just recently received the ability to wildshape into a black pudding ooze. How would I actually work this out?

He's also a warshaper.

When he splits, does he only act out of one of them? all of them? Does he make reflex saves for each of himself? Any suggestions?

My character's levels are the following are the following:

Druid 5/Warshaper 5/Master of Many Forms 8

With his Extraordinary Wild Shape Ability, when he wild shapes into a Black Pudding, he gets the split feature. How do I work with that when he splits? Any ideas?

You would work it just like a normal Black Pudding. When he wild shapes out of it, all of the split portions come together. Until then, each split portion acts as a separate pudding.

So his turn would allow him to have X number of attacks based off of his black pudding ability. What am I supposed to do with his morphic weapons?

Could each black pudding have a tentacle (as a morphic weapon) out as well?

No, it specifically says that you gain one attack with Morphic weapons. No matter how many blobs you are divided into, you are still one character, so among all of the blobs, only one of them would gain the benefit of Morphic Weapons.

If all of the blobs are say...hit by a fireball or something, would the druid have to make X reflex saves?

Yes, while in that form, you have all of the traits of that form, namely that you are split. While when you join back together you will be one again, while in blob form, you are many requiring saves from each part (DMs may decide to rule differently, but it makes sense. Multiple blobs increases the surface area that the fireball can hit.)

Yes, but I'd advise you to bend the rules a bit in this case (and perhaps just not adopt the black pudding shape to begin with).

After speaking with my PC, we both agreed that this would create a big headache if he wildshaped into a black pudding.

Also, on my side, they never ran into a black elder pudding before.

The final verdict was that he would just opt not to wildshape/multi-morph into that form.
