11-25-06, 05:52 PM Nice...though dose anyone notice that the first one is still more powerful (at least by CR) than a kobold, and has as manny HP as your standard level 1 commoner....

Its exactly as powerful by CR as a kobold actually. But what're you to do? A cat is just as nasty stat-wise and I've seen chickens that could kill cats easily. And as you see in the article I posted, gaming cocks have been known to kill grown men with a few jabs.

11-25-06, 10:54 PM Here are the statistics I use for regular chickens that don't pose a threat to adventurers. They were originally devised to determine the effect of chickens pulling a cart (you can get a lot of chickens for the cost of a donkey, and all that pulling power adds up), with familiar details added at the request of a player.

Chicken
Tiny Animal
Hit Dice: 1/4d8 (1 hp)
Initiative: +1
Speed: 20 ft. (4 squares), fly 20 ft. (clumsy)
AC: 13 (+2 size, +1 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 12
Base Attack/Grapple: +0/-13
Attack: -
Full Attack: -
Space/Reach: 2-1/2 ft./0 ft.
Special Attacks: -
Special Qualities: Headless rush, low-light vision
Saves: Fort +2, Ref +3, Will +0
Abilities: Str 1, Dex 13, Con 10, Int 1, Wis 10, Cha 2
Skills: Hide +11 Listen +1, Spot +1
Feats: Run
Environment: Temperate plains
Organization: Solitary, pair, or roost (3-20)
Challenge Rating: 1/10
Treasure: None
Alignment: Always neutral
Advancement: -
Level Adjustment: -

These plump birds are innocuous and beneficial, serving mainly as a source of meat and eggs. They are poor fliers and many have their wings clipped (removing their fly speed).

COMBAT
Chickens flee at the first sign of danger, and are only threatening by accident.
Headless Run (Ex): A chicken with its head cut off (as by a vorpal weapon) is not automatically slain. It flees in a random direction for 2d6 rounds, and may be attacked or targeted with spells as normal. Once this duration expires, the chicken drops dead if it has not already been killed.
Carrying Capacity: A light load for a chicken is up to 1 1/2 pounds; a medium load , 2-3 pounds; and a heavy load, 3 1/2-5 pounds. A chicken can drag 25 pounds.

Chicken Familiars
A sorcerer or wizard who selects a chicken as a familiar gains the Run feat while they are within 1 mile of each other.
