[Morph Bark]

Stats for chicken and inspiration for this can be found in this thread (though to be honest, this idea was the reason I asked for chicken stats there in the first place). Comments and constructive critique most welcome!

EDIT: This now has a follow-up PrC!


CHICKEN MASTER

Well, at least I got chicken!

At school, all the other kids used to harass you, make fun of you. The fighters-to-be would beat you up, the rogue-kids would spit in your face, even the nerdy or upstuck casters-to-be would laugh behind your back just because you are the son of a dirt farmer. Well, the time has come for you to beat them at their own game and see who will get the last laugh! You, who holds the power! The power of chicken!!

Bred for Purpose (Ex): Once per round, before drawing a weapon or pulling out an item, a Chicken Master can declare he is using this ability if he wishes to use it. If he pulls out a chicken instead of the item or weapon (50% chance as usual), he can change any of its non-bonus feats to any other feat it qualifies for.

At second level, he also can lower any of the chickens ability scores by up to 2 and increase another by the same amount. The ability score being lowered cannot fall below 1 and he cannot lower or increase Int. At third level he can lower an ability score by up to 4, at fourth level by up to 6 and at fifth level by up to 8.

Cluck Fu: A Chicken Master can wield chickens as improvised weapons that deal 1d6 nonlethal damage. When wielding more than one chicken he gains the benefit of the Two-Weapon Fighting or Multiweapon Fighting feat, as appropriate.

Chicken Sense: Starting at level 2, you can attune your senses very well to the presence of chicken. You automatically detect a chicken if it is within 60 feet of you, even if you don’t have line of sight or line of effect to it.

Otherfarmly Heritage: Starting at level 3, once per day, before drawing a weapon or pulling out an item, a Chicken Master can declare he will summon forth a chicken the likes of which none have ever seen before. If he pulls out a chicken instead of the item or weapon, the chicken can have a template applied to it that increases its CR by no more than 1. If he pulls out the item or weapon successfully, he does not expend his daily usage of this ability. The chicken with the Otherfarmly Heritage disappears at dusk.

At fifth level the Chicken Master can apply a template that increases the chicken’s CR by no more than 2.

Furthermore, also at fifth level, the Chicken Master may use this ability twice per day, but if he uses the second daily use of this ability while the chicken he pulled out with the first daily use of it is still alive, the second chicken must have the same template applied to it as the first.

Improved Chicken Sense: At level 4 your Chicken Sense becomes even greater and more awesome than it was before. Now you can - for a number of times per day equal to your class level - attune your senses to a chicken you have drawn within the last five minutes and become able to see and hear from where the chicken is standing. You can use your own Listen and Spot modifiers or the chicken’s, whichever are higher.
