Help me make a chef

Julia Childs and Yan are scary people?

Not intrinsically scary, but if you saw the time when Julia Childs and Emeril were on the same show, she had no problem putting him in his place with a single word/look. Repeatedly.

...which was good. He needed that.

Will there be creature you won't try to cook and eat? If you encounter a goblin will you deep fry it's leg? What about Otyugh? I'm not trying to make fun of the idea. I like it actually and might steal it for myself. I'm just curious if you would have limits to what you would experiment with.

I will probably stay away from eating overtly intelligent/language-using creatures.

Really disgusting ones? There might be something in there that's worthwhile...

Things like Darkmantles and Rust Monsters are exciting opportunities.

For some reason, I feel that monk would be a good fit.

The Exemplar (Complete Adventurer) is probably a must for a prestige class, since the whole idea of the class is to focus on being really good at skills. If you did go with monk, drunken master could be amusing too. ^_^

Huh.

Monk could be interesting, actually. I'd need to get special dispensation such that I could use Flurry of Blows with knives (and, perhaps, only with knives).

I'll think about it.

Right now, I've been thinking of starting off Rogue and multiclassing to Ranger. We'll see.

Not entirely certain of what to do to help, to be honest, but I saw this in another thread and thought you should give it a look for your chef:

Teh Portable Kitchen!

Hmmm...

Bard would mostly fit, but the musical/performance aspect is largely unappealing.

[Alton Brown]When preparing Pate du Rust Monster, you will need the freshest you can acquire, preferably live...which means you'll need special equipment. Like large wooden clubs, cudjels, staves, shillelaghs, or even the occasional Maul. However, you know my kitchen rule- no single use items! So I opt for the simple, utilitarian staves and clubs.

You also can't use metal pots in the preperation process- even though the bulk of the creature's rusting ability resides in its antennae, their entire body has some moderate corrosive ability- so you'll need some good, round ceramic or glass bowls & dishes.

Unlike a fois gras, you don't need to raise the creature in a special enclosure- wild ones work just fine, because the tenderizing will occur during the slaughter process.[/Alton Brown]

Wizard could work well, aiming for Loremaster.

SP are low, but you'll have high int.

I can also see cooking meshing nicely with alchemy, and wizards are concerned about finding formulas for all sorts of things (spells, alchemy, recipes, etc). Wizards are also often snobs.

You'll want to get yourself an unseen servant as a sous chef...

 

[McDungeon]

Could try artificer, say brewed potions = cooked items.

Your meals are so good, they give magical effect.
