(by request. Battle Chef wasn't quite right, apparently. I'm curious as to what the most broken thing you can do with this is (excluding the Sarrukh))
 
(I think there's a limit to how far one can go when balancing this without doing the Shape Eater thing.)

Monster Gourmet[edit]

“ Ah, fricasseed Prismatic Dragon in a fine Gelatinous Cube sauce, served on a bed of Tendriculos leaves with Vampire-blood wine. Most delicious. ”
—Flau Flilal, Ogre Monster Gourmet

If you need someone to cook up your victims into a true delicacy, there's no-one better for the job.

Becoming a Monster Gourmet[edit]

People tend to become Monster Gourmets because they are already gourmets, and have encountered many things on their adventures.

Entry Requirements
Skills: Profession (Chef) 8 ranks. Tome of Prowess Variant: Survival 8 ranks.
Special: Must have cooked and eaten the flesh of a Magical Beast, Aberration, or Dragon.

Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Monster Gourmet.

Make Delicious Meal: The Monster Gourmet can convert any creature into a delicious meal capable of serving a number of creatures equal to the Monster Gourmet's class level. Making a meal takes one hour, requires a Profession (Chef) check with a DC equal to 10 + 2 × the creature's CR, and can produce 1 of the following effects. Tome of Prowess Variant: Instead of a Profession (Chef) check, make a Survival check with a DC equal to 10 + the creature's CR.

Delicious meals are quite perishable, and must be made with only the freshest ingredients: a creature that's been dead for more than an hour is too old to use, and a delicious meal loses its potency after one day.

You Are What You Eat: At level 1, the Monster Gourmet's meals can transform anyone who eats it into the creature, much like polymorph other, with a less limiting CR restriction: the creature must have a CR no greater than that of the diner eating it. The creature may be exceptional for its type, if it was. This lasts for 8 hours. Eating one of these meals takes 30 minutes.

Extraordinary Flavor: At level 2, the Monster Gourmet's meals can grant anyone who eats it a single extraordinary ability of the creature for 8 hours. Eating one of these meals takes 30 minutes.

Supernatural Sushi: At level 3, the Monster Gourmet's meals can grant anyone who eats it a single supernatural ability of the creature for 5 minutes. Eating one of these meals takes a full-round action.

Magically Delicious: At level 4, the Monster Gourmet's meals can grant anyone who eats it a single use of one spell-like ability, psi-like ability, spell, or power of the creature. Eating one of these meals takes 30 minutes.
