Extra Crispy Chicken

     It's Transformation Thursday, and that means you're going to have your molecules ripped apart and slammed back together into a completely different (and probably slightly uncomfortable) shape and size.  You may have fur or feathers or lose an eye.

     One of the things I love about engineering is how horribly wrong it can go.  The Gnomish Poultryizer is no exception to this rule.  It's an interesting transformation tool in that it is actually meant to be used on someone else.  Take aim at an enemy (Player or otherwise) and use this little trinket to turn them.... into a chicken.  They can even be mounted and wind up as a chicken.  It lasts for 15 seconds or until damage breaks it, whichever happens first.
    Of course, as with all engineering devices, this has the chance to backfire against the user and turn them into a chicken instead.  Thank you, gnomes, for such great Quality Control standards.
     As a chicken, you cannot cast any spells or use any special attacks.  About all you can do is move freely (as you normally would) and melee... er, peck your enemies.  Using this against casters is a sure way to drive them to the brink of insanity.  It's bad enough being silenced, but having to peck at your enemies is downright humiliating.
     If you want this little beauty, you'll have to get your engineering up to 340 and farm up some Outland materials.  But it's all in good fun.  Duel a friend, turn them into a chicken, and laugh.  For fifteen seconds.  Then go back to hitting each other with sticks and ice and glowy stuff.
