A hash slinger takes the rangers focus on specific opponents to the cooking pot. Learning how to create filling means out of more and more creatures as he advances in experience, the hash slinger can coax these creature's magic out to benefit those who eat the meals he prepares.

Class Features

The hash slinger has all the standard ranger class features, except as noted below.

Forager (Ex)

A hash slinger adds his class level to Survival when foraging for food and water, and can move at full speed while doing so. If moving at half speed, double the number of people he forages for. This food must then be prepared using field cooking.

Field Cooking (Ex)

By spending one hour preparing food, a hash slinger can remove any toxicity, infection, infestation, or disease and make the food healthy to eat. This includes making it nutritionally balanced and avoiding deficiency disorders. If the food was dangerously poisonous or diseased, the hash slinger can make a Survival check against the saving throw DC of the poison or disease to render it completely harmless.

A medium creature provides 25 lbs. of food and a medium creature needs 2 lbs. of food per day; each size class up and down doubles or halves these figures. It takes one round per lb. to butcher meat from a carcass. It is an evil act to knowingly butcher, cook, or eat an intelligent creature. Creature types marked with an * in Table: Creature Type to Cooking Bloodline are often intelligent, and should be avoided by non-evil hash slingers. Summoned creatures do not leave a carcass to cook.

A hash slinger can prepare a number of meals at once equal to his Survival skill modifier. If he has the Craft (Cook) skill, multiply the two skill modifiers together. Cooking for 100 people or more requires one assistant per 100 people.

Tom Hardtack is a hash slinger with a Survival skill modifier of +15 and a Craft (Cook) skill modifier of +12. Multiplying these two figures, we find that Tom can cook for 180 people at one time. To cook for 100 people or more, he needs an assistant.

By spending a full day cooking, a hash slinger can prepare trail rations.

Magic Cooking

When a hash slinger cooks the carcass of a creature that is a favored enemy, he can utilize the creatures magic to imbue to food with magical effects that benefit those who eat it. The food must be prepared using field cooking, the meal takes 10 minutes to consume, and the benefits of the meal last for 1 hour per level of the hash slinger, counting from when the meal is ready to eat. The usual procedure is that the hash slinger prepares a meal in the morning and his group eats it just before beginning the day's activities. A creature can only benefit from one instance of arcane cooking; a new meal of arcane cooking negates any benefit from earlier meals.

The benefits gained depend on the hash slinger's level and the creature's type. Eaters gain the benefits of the bloodline powers of a sorcerer bloodline dependent upon the creature type. Which creature types confer which bloodline powers can be read on Table: Creature Type to Cooking Bloodline. At level 4, eaters gain the benefit of the level 1 bloodline power. At level 7, eaters get the benefit of the level 3 bloodline power. At level 11, eaters get the benefit of the level 9 bloodline power. At level 13, eaters gain the benefit of the Heroe's Feast spell. Benefits accrue; eating the magic cooking of a 13th level hash slinger confers all the benefits at once. All level-dependent benefits are based on the hash slinger's level.

Magical Preserved Food

At 17th level, a hash slinger can create non-perishable foodstuffs similar to http://www.d20pfsrd.com/equipment---final/goods-and-services/hunting-camping-survival-gear#TOC-Rations trail rations], but with magical properties. This takes a full day of work and needs expensive spices and magical preservatives costing 25 gp times the hash slinger's level squared. The hash slinger can choose to magically prepare food at lower than his maximum level. The market price of magically preserved food is twice the cost to create it, but it is not generally available on the market.

Magical preserved food counts its duration from when it is consumed rather than when it is cooked. Consuming magical preserved food takes 10 minutes.
