I've recently been experimenting with a fun little technique to dispatch enemies in quite a spectacular, if a bit impractical, way. I'm not playing in an optimized group, and the DM gives us a lot of leeway in how we employ our limited resources and continuously encourages us to be creative.
Without getting into too much detail, the end result is that a black pudding, gelatinous cube or any other kind of ooze invariably gets dropped on the enemy's head. Now, I've been reading on the falling object damage rules, and they completely fail to mention what happens when the object in question is a creature, let alone a huge, flesh-dissolving blob of protoplasm.
So the questions I need answered are:
Who gets to roll for the ranged touch attack, the one who drops the pudding or the pudding itself? Would there be penalties to dropping a Fine sized object? And what would happen if said object sizeshifted from Fine to Huge during the fall?
How much falling damage would a black pudding inflict? Would it deal 6d6, as per a huge falling object? Or 3d6, because it might be argued it's a "softer" material? Or would falling damage be replaced by its slam damage?
And finally, what would happen to the poor, hapless fool standing below it when it drops? Would he be automatically engulfed by the pudding or would you allow him some way to avoid it (be it via a CMB v. CMD check, an additional Reflex save, etc.)?
Thanks in advance for the answers, and hope you all have fun arguing the matter.
