There's only one thing I want to know about Baldur's Gate 3: Can I turn my enemies into chickens?

Chicken

Sometimes the best skill you get in an RPG doesn't come until you're near max level and have ascended to godhood, casting Ultima or Summon Meteor or some other megasplosion of fire and fury. Sometimes the best skill is the one you start with at level one. In Divinity: Original Sin 2, that skill was Chicken Claw, and I'm desperate to know if Baldur's Gate 3 will have an equivalent.

I played 104 hours of Divinity: Original Sin 2 as a polymorph warrior with a literal demon inside me, and my default role in combat was as a buffed-up damage sponge. The polymorph class is all about modifying your body in strange ways, and I routinely used my starter skills Tentacle Lash and Bull Rush to briefly take on the strength of an octopus or a bull to slap or ram enemies. Those were just setup for the polymorph's best skill, though, the one that remained just as powerful at level 20 as it was at level one. Chicken Claw turns any enemy without physical armor into a defenseless, skillless chicken for a whole round. Absolutely fowl.
