What's the exalted flaming chicken thrower?

[Uncle Pine]

Hello guys!
This is my first thread, so I'll try not to make silly questions :smallbiggrin:
The problem is that I can't find any good information about this "exalted flaming chicken thrower" guy. I know about the chicken infested flaw and how it can be (ab)used, but I don't have any idea on how to build this character!
The only thing I found about this build is this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showpost.php?p=5734832&postcount=8) message, but the link to the WotC forum has expired...
Could you help me, please?

I believe reply #9 of this (http://brilliantgameologists.com/boards/index.php?topic=7652.0) thread might be what you're looking for.
Sidenote: My Google search was 'cluck fu chicken infested vow of poverty' :smalltongue:

Welcome to posting!

So you already know about how Chicken Infested gives a commoner a 50% draw rate of anything you draw being a chicken, and how it combines with a spell component pouch, from which things can be drawn as a free action (and which, as most DMs run it, does not run out of components.)

The Flaming Chicken Thrower build is simply an extension of that. Drunken Master (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/ex/20010105) gives the ability to wield chickens as improvised weapons. I'm uncertain if it also gives enhancement equivalents like flaming, but even if it doesn't, Kensai might be useable for this purpose (arguably not, as it's not the same chicken you pull out every time) or some other, similar class.

The Exalted component probably involves Vow of Poverty, as if you have VoP any weapon you wield becomes magical, with increasing enhancement bonuses.

Thanks for the answers!

I actually forgot to specify some things, so let's say that:
1) we play in 3.5e, so I'll have to use the Drunken Master on the Complete Warrior (almost the same, but without speed enhancement, rage and free power attack while charging);
2) I am the DM of the campaign, and even if I sometimes use 3.0e material, I specifically banished VoP, saint template and disciple of Dispater, so I'm not going to use them;
3) this unusual commoner will serve as "Kronk, Korg (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=195049)'s loyal follower" in a few sessions;
3) I don't plan to use OP-builds with 5, 6 or even 7 classes for normal NPCs like this, mainly because my players do the same with their PCs and I'm not that type of jerk-ish DM :smallamused:

Now, do you have any idea on how to build a pretty decent commoner with these restrictions?
Now I'm thinking about a human Commoner1/MonkX/DrunkenMasterY, but I have never read the Bloodstorm Blade... is it useful?
Also, does necklace of natural attacks (from Savage Species) works on Drunken Master's improvised weapons?

I am sad that this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=9327762) came up as none of the results when I tried it, even with leaving out Vow of Poverty.

You're welcome. :smallsmile: Need_A_Life's google-fu was apparently more spot-on than my memory.

ToB class. Unless you want to learn new mechanics from Bo9S, I'd skip it.

I don't have SS with me at the moment, but I'd have to say no. Improvised weapons are martial, not natural weapons.

I'm not familiar with the "exalted" part, but as far as "flaming", that was probably the pyrokineticist's weapons afire ability:

which would go with drunken master's improvised weapons ability.

This is probably the funniest PrC I've ever seen! I'll probably use it building Kronk :smallwink:

You're right, improvised weapons aren't natural weapons, but Drunken Master's class features say that improvised weapons he uses deal the same damage his unarmed strike does. So if you have (for example) a +1 flaming necklace of natural attacks why wouln't you deal 1d6+1 extra damage with your chickens?
