This type of trying to one up the DM by twisting the rules isn't good for the game. And frankly, if the player isn't trying to get one over and is acting in good faith, they know they can talk to me. In this case I'd probably just allow the PC to cast Hex without a target, with a caveat that if it becomes a problem we would revisit the issue. Although I doubt it would be a problem. It's not about hexing the chicken per se. It's that a player trying to game the system is not good for the game. It might work in a CRPG (although IMO you're liable to ruin your own fun in the long run), but not in table top. The DM can change and create rules. The only way to "beat" a DM using rules lawyering is if the DM chooses to be a gentleman/ gentlewoman and not stomp on the player. It a losing proposition and a foolish one at that IMO, because I've only ever seen it result in everyone's fun being ruined.</blockquote>
