Chicken-Infested Build

[javijuji]

So I am playing a Maug Artificer in a friends table and he allows all sorts of homebrew and dragon magazine stuff. I decided that if I die my next character will be a commoner (he allowed me) with the Chicken Infested Flaw. For those who are unaware it basically makes you have a 50% chance to draw a chicken every time you draw an item. Using spell component pouch and drawing from it (free action) you basically have an infinite supply of chickens. Now the idea is not to break the game economy or anything of the sorts. But to actually use the chickens to fight. At first I thought of going dread necro or warlock for some easy kamikazee undead chickens. But that would be abusing the flaw. So I thought of a chicken wielding fighter.

The classes I thought so far are:

Monk + VoP -> Drunken Brawler (Improvised weapons) and later on warblade and bloodstorm blade. I still have like 10 levels (6 to 14) that I havent decided. It also seems like I will have to take TWF to make it actually efficent in combat. Any recommendations. Also would it be somewhat viable without VoP? Not sure how I can get the chickens to be +1 to +5 without VoP.

Obviously, this build isn't perfected yet. I have one free fighter feat(and am treated as 5th level fighter in order to qualify for feats) and FIVE other open feats.

I could pick up the TWF chain, or spring attack, or whatever else.

It doesn't matter.

What *does* matter, however, is that this guy has 16 BaB, can quickdraw chickens out of thin air, and bludgeon opponents to death with them, dealing 1d6+1d8+5+STR damage.
Optionally, he can *throw* these chickens as bloodstorm blade for even more sillyness.


Thoughts? Ideas to improve this? Comments?

And for reference, this whole build revolves around this Commoner-only flaw:


Chicken Infested: Whenever you draw a weapon or pull an item out of a countainer, you have a 50% chance of drawing a live chicken instead. No, we don't know where the chickens come from; it's your character.



Alright, updated Chicken champion!

ECL 20 Commoner 1/Monk(Cobra Strike Variant) 3/Bard 3/Warblade 7/Drunken Master 2/Bloodstorm Blade 4 -Bonus Exalted Feat(Vow of Chastity?)-


This build can produce Inspire courage effects of a 10th level bard, i.e. +2.
Words of creation doubles that to +4, song of the heart adds another +1, inspirational boost adds another +1, for a total of +6/+6 up to three times per day.
Alternatively, you can change that +6/+6 bonus into +6d6 fire damage thanks to dragonfire inspiration, and fight with FLAMING CHICKENS.

Other than that...you get into to damage if you flank/catch an opponent flatfooted, have bardic knowledge of +(3+int), wis to AC, all VoP benefits as usual(though the extremely limited list of exalted feats did make me take some exalted feats I'd usually avoid...precisely, Vow of Obedience and Vow of Chastity), 1d6 base unarmed damage, 1d6+1d4 base damage with chickens(who are treated as +5 magic and goodaligned weapons, btw), some maneuvers(Initiator level 13, so up to 7th level maneuvers! Late Warblade levels also allow for very high-level maneuvers), a +10ft enhancement bonus to speed from Monk, all the typical Bloodstorm Blade Goodies, the drunken master's STAGGER ability, allowing for some very fun charges...

And probably a few things more that I just missed.

With your build wouldn't it be hilarious to combo this (the chickens) with Feign Weakness and Iaijutsu Focus?

im sure a chicken counts as a small/light weapon....right?
