The Chickenator

As a kickoff for Project Chicken 2013 I thought it would be fun to suggest a new item for BG2EE. A crossbow which you have to assemble together. The name of this crossbow of course would be the Chickenator.
I'm thinking there would be two forms of the weapon. A +3 weapon you can get in SoA and an option to upgrade it to +5 in ToB. The +3 weapon would have something like Jan's ammo creating ability in that it would have the ability to produce a unique form of ammo once a day. In the Chickenator +3's case the ammo would look like a regular bolt but would do no damage. Instead if it successfully hits a target they have "polymorph other" cast on them (except they turn into a chicken and not a squirrel).
The +5 version of Chickenator would also allow you to produce an additional alternative form of ammo that would be similar to an arrow of detonation. In this case it technically counts as a bolt, looks like a chicken while flying towards the target, but has a smaller explosion radius than a fireball.

I remember being a noob in Diablo 2, and I told HUNDREDS of times to my cousin that there was a cow level. But no, she was still telling me that it was a Diablo 1 bad joke.
Also, what an awesome idea, I hope this gets implemented.
BTW "Make Mazzy a Jedi" is pretty cool idea.
Aha! Riddle solved.
