Ran into a bit of a problem today. The party of 7 level 6 ran into a Black pudding. When I read the monster ability split, it doesn't sound like to changes size modifier. However, the whole table suggested that it didn't make sense that the ooze would not get smaller.
The ability doesn't say anything about size changing though, but I thought it made more sense that if you split it in half, it would have to become smaller.
Does the pudding get smaller when you slice into it, or would you need a spoon.
I would say it doesn't get smaller... area-wise... but mass wise. It has less HP so it has less insides or something.

No it remains the same size, it just gets thinner. It's a Ooze / slime / amorphous blob after all which can alter it's physical dimensions.
IIRC James Jacobs posted upon the Age of Worms forum about Black Puddings splitting.
