You say that like it's a bad thing.

Or you could just be a Cock Fighter.

Apparently the new-ish Pathfinder Adventure Path, Ironfang Invasion, included Were-Raptors. Not like Dinosaur-Lycanthropes, but Bird-Lycanthropes.

Man, for a second you got my hopes up for were-feathered-raptors.

They are if I am reading his right.

Unless they are Were-Megaraptors who are the Jurassic Park Raptors.

A thing that is not a werewolf are best werewolves.

Were-chickens are best lycanthropes.

To my knowledge only Half-lings and gnomes could be a Were-Chicken.

Yea, gotta be within one size category of the animal, last I checked. That would require either a massive chicken or an extraordinarily small man.

Now for a Stone Giant Were-Roc.


I had to google to see if werechickens were done before. Apparently there was an episode of the animated Ghostbusters cartoon involving a werechicken.

I beleived they got rid of that rule in 5e, but damn, is it funny to see a 3' tall gnome with pink hair turn into a size large bear-lady and destroy everything. I had the player roll to have after-effects of the transformation, such as stretch marks, baggy skin, etc. but thanks to being a barbarian, she never had it happen

The rule is still there in Pathfinder though.

[Gentlefish]

In bird culture, this is considered a dick move.

[BlackFlyme]

I'm not at fault for others' disregard of language.

Apparently the new were-creatures in Bestiary 6 are called Entothropes. Were-Insects. Though Google tells me ento means inside. Inside-Man?

No Skinwalker heritages for them though.

I know, and I wasn't blaming you?

I don't really care about pathfinder to be honest. Its 3.5 after it took a shot of speed, and despite some of my most fun sessions being in pathfinder, I really dislike it. Most classes are rendered obsolete very quickly, meaning half of the classes are not even viable for play if you plan on going more than level 8/9. I think pathfinder needs the right GM and the right players to really make it fun. Throw in one powergamer in a more laid back campaign, and its just not fun because every encounter is "struggle to stay alive while the powergamer obliterates everything".

I like how it has the potential to use any age of weaponry and it even has stuff for a modern campaign. I also like the hybrid classes (as useless as most of them do end up becoming) and I like some of the unique stuff they bring up, like the vigilante. But I do not like it for how unbalanced everything else is.

I can have a party in 5e with two rangers, a wizard and a cleric and it will hold up just as much as a party with a druid, a paladin, an artificer and a wizard. You never feel the need to be a class because its solely good or a certain role needs to be filled. The whole archetype thing, while I do feel that it takes away from having completely different classes (examples: Ninja is now just an archtype for monk, blackguard is literally a paladin who has taken the alternate oathbreaker archetype, warlord is now a fighter archetype, warder (I think that is what it was) is now just a mystic school, etc.) it does make every single build feel viable (except ranger before it got the update; it really needed that...).

I will play the worst game of 4E over pathfinder, because at least the variety and viability of every class makes it feel like I can be whatever I want. Do I want to be a tanky beater? Berserker or avenger with the right feats. 5E I can do the same thing too, although there isn't much out right now officially. I allow every unearthed arcana into my game unless it is specified as "BAD EXAMPLE, DON'T USE THIS" or there is an updated version of it (eberron setting had artificer as an archetype of wizard, and now it's its own class, mystic got an overhaul, etc.). Pathfinder will never have that balance because to change anything would cause an uproar in the pathfinder community. Thats the way they play.

I may not like it, but that's how they like it. Same with me how I like to play; if I want to be a 4e laser cleric then damnit, I'm going to be a laser cleric

Uh oh did my joke not get joked properly? It was a joke oh no.

Jokes are difficult to portray over text.

The bird still bugs me. It should have talons, not human feet. I remember an argument over where talons go on Paizo's messageboard, where devs had to faq that Claws are for hands, and Talons are for feet.

[Gentlefish]

Whew. Yeah I was just noting how it looks like bird person.

Now I need to play a were-raptor so I can be bird person.

[BlackFlyme]

The sidebar in the book actually says that Wereraptor-Skinwalkers don't actually have beaks. That bird clearly has a beak.

I love Paizo's art most of the time, but it rarely lines up with the text properly.

Ah, right. Here's Skinwalker stats.

I can think of several decent builds centred around a chicken lycanthrope fighter.

If you want to focus on ranged takedown options, a bola specialised fighter could make a good cock-and-balls build.

If you have the chicken animal familiar, it can take the Wing Buffet feat for extra attack deliciousness.

Taking the Bodyguard feat is another way to help keep your cock up during tough encounters.

Investing in UMD could allow you access to scrolls and wands of spells like Mirror Image or False Life. Even a lowly 1st level spell like Grease could be help prevent enemies from grabbing your cock.

A small sized character with the Mauler archetype familiar could go the mounted combat route and ride his own cock.

A splash of Shaman could grant a familiar Spirit's Gift, allowing you to choose Stone every day, gaining DR 5/adamantine for a rock hard cock.

Remember to get Muleback Cords or something similar so your cock can handle heavy loads. Then even if one of the other PCs is too big to ride your cock you could at least pick them up and fly them over obstacles.

If you obtained an auroch or bison animal companion with Animal Ally you could create a Cock and Bull Story.

A Donkey wouldn’t be quite as good in combat but is a fairly cheap purchased creature. If you could just come up with one more pet which has the Ride skill you could take Cavalry Formation to fit the cock and ass together into tight spaces.

Don't forget to buy barding for your animals. If you're sending your cock into battle, you'll want it to wear protection.

Be careful if you face any tetori monks, strangler brawlers, or other grapple specialists. Your animal companion won't have a high CMD, and you don't want to let them choke your chicken.

If you want an upgrade, consider a peacock animal companion over a chicken familiar for increased size bonuses. You can get a long way with the Mauler archetype, but at the end of the day you still only have a tiny cock.
