The author of that book is a complete shit, for the record.

Sure, there'll be a Tome of Cocks. I'll start on it tomorrow. It will be full of childish jokes and stupidity, as might be expected.

I feel really sorry for our OP.

I'm curious to see how Cocks will matter at high level (such as underwater and planar adventures)

I'm surprised no one has yet requested a tank-y class called the Cock Blocker. Consider it requested.

If you value the integrity of your sphincter, do NOT offer submission to Koumei.
Every time you play in a "low magic world" with D&D rules (or derivates), a unicorn steps on a kitten and an orphan drops his ice cream cone.

You could always go with Cheat. Or the opposite, Noble.


As an aside, I disagree with your premise. Some people like kicking butt in combat sans-prep and sleeping the rest of the game away. They're a whole category of the people who enjoy RPGs. Having a class which works better for them is fine.

The Cock Hurler
"You can't escape my cock!

Image

A Cock Hurler is a person who at puberty discovered an affinity for cocks. Literally, they can make cocks appear anywhere. By reaching out and grabbing them, a Cock Hurler can have an angry cock in their hand on a moment's notice. This is a magical, and largely unexplained ability that produces seemingly endless amounts of live chickens. No one knows where they come from, or whether they are created anew.

In combat, the Cock Hurler can throw their newly arrived chickens to surprisingly great effect.

Starting Age: As Rogue
Starting Equipment: 6d4x10gp
Alignment: Cock Hurlers are often giant raging jerks in real life, and often tend towards the extremes of Law and Chaos.

Hit Die: d8
Base Attack Bonus: +1/level
Good Saving Throws: Fortitude, Reflex
Skill Points: 6+Int
Class Skills: Appraise, Balance, Bluff, Climb, Craft, Diplomacy, Disable Device, Disguise, Gather Information, Handle Animal, Hide, Intimidate, Jump, Knowledge (Any), Linguistics, Listen, Move Silently, Perform, Profession, Ride, Search, Sleight of Hand, Spot, Survival, Swim, Use Magic Device, Use Rope.
Level:Abilities:
1: Animal Empathy, Cock Hurling, Trap finding
2: Uncanny Dodge
3: Evasion, Flacidity
4: Mettle, Precision Cock +1d6
5: Mouth Full of Cock
6: Improved Uncanny Dodge, Sudden Cock
7: Cock Rider, Precision Cock +2d6
8: Break Enchantment, Improved Evasion

15: Cock Hole
16: Multi Rock Cock, Precision Cock +5d6

Class Feature

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A Cock Hurler is proficient with Light and Medium Armor as well as with Shields. A Cock Hurler is proficient with Simple Weapons as well as the Battle Ax, Orcish Shotput, Halfling Skip Rock, Net, all forms of Whip, Hand Crossbow, Bolas, Shuriken, and Harpoon.

Animal Empathy: A Cock Hurler has Animal Empathy as a Druid of their level.

Cock Hurling (Su): Fifty times per day, a Cock Hurler may generate a surprised and angry chicken and if they wish throw it as part of the same action before the chicken knows what is going on. The Chicken is a light weapon that is considered to be "designed to be thrown". Creating and throwing the chicken can be done as part of the same standard action. The chicken has a range increment of 10 feet. The chicken does 1d6 of damage, provides a distraction equivalent to a strong wind for the target for the following round, and is an actual angry chicken that will then attack whatever is nearby. The chicken uses the stats for a Raven except that it cannot fly. It appears in the square of the target whether the throwing attack hits or misses. If the Cock Hurler decides, they may coup de grace their newly produced chicken instead of throwing it in order to have a dead cock in their hands for whatever purposes.

Trap Finding: A Cock Hurler can find and remove traps, as a Rogue.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A 2nd level Cock Hurler retains their Dex bonus when flat footed or unable to see their attacker.

Evasion (Ex): At 3rd level, a Cock Hurler takes no damage from an attack if their make a Reflex Save to reduce the damage.

Flacidity (Ex): A 3rd level Cock Hurler is immune to petrification.

Mettle (Ex): At 4th level, a Cock Hurler treats Fortitude Partial and Willpower Partial saves as saves to negate.

Precision Cock (EX): At 4th level and every three levels after that, the Cock Hurler does an extra d6 of precision damage every time they hit an opponent with a thrown chicken or chicken-related animal.

Mouth Full of Cock (Su): At 5th level, a Cock Hurler can cause their cocks to appear in the mouths of others within medium range. This does more damage to smaller creates, doing 4d6 to Fine, 3d6 to Diminutive, 2d6 to Tiny, d8 to Small, d6 to Medium, d4 to Large, and no damage to huge or larger creatures. Giving someone a mouth full of cock is a standard action. Any spellcasting is interrupted unless the spell or spell-like ability has no Verbal components and the target makes a Concentration check DC 25 + Spell Level. The newly produced chicken is grappling with the target when it appears.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A 6th level Cock Hurler cannot be flanked unless one or both of the flanking creatures has six more levels in class(es) that grants Uncanny Dodge than the Cock Hurler has in classes that grant Uncanny Dodge.

Sudden Cock (Su): A 6th level Cock Hurler can produce and throw a chicken as a Swift Action.

Cock Rider: At 7th level, a Cock Hurler gains an Achaierai that serves them faithfully as a mount. If the Achaierai is killed, they can get another one a week later with a ritual that uses 500 gp worth of components. The Cock Hurler's Achaierai gains a hit die every time the Cock Hurler gains a level and thus always has one less hit die than the Cock Hurler does. The Achaierai has the same alignment as the Cock Hurler.

Break Enchantment (Sp): At 8th level, a Cock Hurler can use break enchantment as a spell-like ability a number of times each day equal to their Intelligence bonus (minimum 1 time). Normally it is ambiguous whether break enchantment is capable of undoing the patrification caused by a creature ability, but in the Cock Hurler's case it can unambiguously be used in this manner.

Improved Evasion (Ex): An 8th level Cock Hurler suffers only half damage from effects that allow a Reflex save to halve the damage, even when the Cock Hurler actually fails the Reflex save in question.

Hardening Cock (Su): Once per hour, a 9th level Cock Hurler can produce and hurl a cockatrice as a Standard Action. A cockatrice does d8 damage as a thrown weapon and a target struck must make a Fortitude Save (DC 10 + 1/2 Cock Hurler's Hit Dice +Intelligence Bonus) or become petrified. Whether successful or not, the Cockatrice bounces and ends up standing in the square immediately in front of the target.

Skill Mastery (Ex): At 10th level, a Cock Hurler chooses 3 + Intelligence Bonus skills. The Cock Hurler can take 10 on those skills even when under pressure or confronted with a penalty for failure.

Barrel of Cocks (Su): An 11th level Cock Hurler can produce and throw a barrel that is full of chickens as a standard action. This barrel does 2d8 damage to the target (who is also subject to precision cock damage), and then explodes, releasing a bunch of excited and bewildered chickens - treat as a bat swarm. But with chickens, so they don't fly very high. This may be done up to 3 plus Int bonus times per day. The barrel has a range increment of 10 feet, and part of the magic in producing it allows the Cock Hurler to throw it as it comes into being even if it is too heavy for the Cock Hurler to lift.

Climb into the Barrel (Su): A 12th level Cock Hurler can manifest a cock barrel, climb into it, and end up on another plane of existence. They may allow others to follow them. Other than looking really weird and leaving a barrel full of chicken feathers in their wake, this mimics plane shift, rope trick, or Mordenkainen's magnificent mansion. The Barrel Climbing can be invoked a number of times per day equal to the Cock Hurler's Intelligence Bonus (minimum 1).

Massive Cock: At 13th level, a Cock Hurler is accompanied on their adventures by a gargantuan Chicken. Use the stats for a Roc save that it can only fly for up to five minutes at a time. As a Cock Hurler gains levels, the Roc gains abilities as if it was a Druid's Animal Companion and the Cock Hurler was a Druid 13 levels lower than their Cock Hurler level. A fallen Massive Cock can be replaced as an Animal Companion.

Multicock (Su): A 14th level Cock Hurler has no limit to the number of chickens they can manifest each day, and they may use Cock Hurling or Mouthful of Cock as an Attack Action.

Prismatic Cock (Su): As a Standard action, a 14th level Cock Hurler may throw a chicken that glows various colors and then explodes on impact. Whether the target is damaged or distracted by the actual thrown chicken or not, everything within 10 feet of the target is struck by a random color from prismatic spray. Any allowed saves are against a DC of 10 + 1/2 level + Intelligence bonus.

Cock Hole (Su): As a standard action, a 15th level Cock Hurler may create a 10'x10'x50' deep pit as an extradimensional space with an open portal on any surface. The pit has a swarm of chickens at the bottom. If the pit is dispelled or dismissed, everything in it is pushed to the surface.

Multi Rock Cock (Su): A 16th level Cock Hurler can produce and throw an unlimited number of cockatrices in an hour and can throw cockatrices as an attack action.

Chicken Wishes (Su): A 17th level Cock Hurler can grant the simplest and most common wishes of Chickens. What this means is that every chicken, cockatrice, and chicken swarm the Cock Hurler produces can fly. The Cock Hurler's Massive Cock can fly. The Cock Hurler's Riding Cock can also fly.

Vorpal Chickens (Su): An 18th level Cock Hurler instantly kills any corporeal target they critical with a thrown chicken. In addition, the Cock Hurler's chickens ignore DR and the Chicken Swarm's Swarm Damage is increased to 4d6.

Find Cock (Su): A 19th level Cock Hurler is very good at finding things, which allows them to mimic locate object, locate person, or discern location a number of times per day equal 3 plus their Intelligence bonus.

Goddamn it Frank, I thought I was being original with the 'cock = chicken' idea. How the hell do you write so damn fast?

Man, I'm so tempted to write up a Cock Jockey.

I won't though. The last three joke classes/PrCs I either wrote or had a hand in writing ended up being played by people as serious.

It just takes the joke to a level that I'm not sure is just either really funny or really insulting to me (or the audience). Maybe both, and maybe all.

Okay, that's enough of your cockmongering!

Where were we...

As for trickster characters, have you considered the name "Trickster"?
Well, you could, in a "throwing paint at the wall" kind of way, but I think you're right. I'll finish the first draft of the class document first, then put it up for review and suggestions. And thanks for the name suggestion. One of the things that makes a good class name, in my mind, is that it's an apellation it makes sense to apply to both a 1st-level neophyte and a 20th-level demigod. 'Trickster' fits the bill, from the Artful Dodger to Anansi.

With that, you can all climb back into the barrel of cocks, I think the original purpose of this thread is ended.

If one of these classes (I'm assuming there will be more) does not contain a "Rock Out With your Cock Out" ability, I am disappoint.
I am judging the philosophies and decisions you have presented in this thread. The ones I have seen look bad, and also appear to be the fruit of a poisonous tree that has produced only madness and will continue to produce only madness.

You'd suck pretty hard as an Ogre. Your to-hit is based on Dex and your late game abilities are Int based. Also, being behind on level gains is going to leave your chicken summoning pretty underwhelming at all levels.

The class is much better for a Halfling.
