View source for Hairbinder, Variant (3.5e Class)

====Class Features====

All of the following are class features of the hairbinder.

'''Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' A hairbinder is proficient with all simple weapons, plus any martial weapons subject to [[SRD:Weapon Finesse|weapon finesse]], and [[SRD:Whip|whips]]. Hairbinders are also proficient with light armor, but not shields. A hairbinder can cast hairbinder spells while wearing light armor and using a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. Like any other arcane spellcaster, a hairbinder wearing medium or heavy armor incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component. A multiclass Hairbinder still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

'''{{Anchor|Spells}}:''' A hairbinder casts arcane spells drawn from the hairbinder spell list. She can cast any spell she knows without preparing it ahead of time. To learn or cast a spell, a hairbinder must have a [[Charisma]] score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class (DC) for a saving throw against a hairbinder's spell is 10 + the spell level + the hairbinder’s [[Charisma]] modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a hairbinder can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Hairbinder. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if he has a high [[Charisma]] score.

The hairbinder's selection of spells is extremely limited. A hairbinder begins play knowing four 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells of the hairbinder's choice. At each new hairbinder level, she gains one or more new spells, as indicated on Table: Hairbinder Spells Known. (Unlike spells per day, the number of spells a hairbinder knows is not affected by her Charisma score (See Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells).

Each level a hairbinder can choose to learn a new spell in place of one she already knows. In effect, the hairbinder “loses” the old spell in exchange for the new one. The new spell’s level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least one level lower than the highest-level hairbinder spell the hairbinder can cast. A hairbinder may swap only a single spell at any given level, and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that he gains new spells known for the level.

A hairbinder need not prepare his spells in advance. He can cast any spell he knows at any time, assuming he has not yet used up his allotment of spells per day for the spell’s level. Since her spellcasting is extremely specialized, it is not affected by the [[Ascended Progression (3.5e Feat)|Ascended Progression]] feat.

'''{{Anchor|Cantrips}}:''' Hairbinder's learn a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, as noted on Table: Hairbinder Spells Known under "Spells Known." These spells are cast like any other spell, but they do not consume any slots and may be used again.

'''{{Anchor|Hair Lash}} {{Ex}}:''' The hairbinder possesses prehensile hair that she can use a weapon not unlike a [[SRD:Whip|whip]].  A 1st level hairbinder gain a [[Feral Strike (3.5e Variant Rule)|Feral Strike]] (Hair Lash), it possesses the following profile:

{{3.5e Mundane Weapon
|weap=Hair Lash
|sme=s
|ulot=t
|ampt=m
|cost=—
|sdamage=1d6
|mdamage=2d4
|crit=×3
|range=
|type=Slashing and Piercing and Bludgeoning
|weight=—
|hp=Twice Class Level
|hardness=1}}

The hair lash has the reach and mechanics of a whip and feats which work with a whip work with it, however it provoke attack of opportunity when used in melee.  The hair lash is a finessable weapon, additionally if the hairbinder possess the [[SRD:Weapon Finesse|Weapon Finesse]] feat she may use her [[Dexterity]] instead of her [[Strength]] on damage rolls. As normal for feral strike, your hair lash may be enhanced as a manufactured weapon, additionally it may be given material properties at the same price as a manufactured weapon.  Unlike a normal feral strike, if their hair lash is sundered it regrow within 1d4 rounds and is restored at full hit points. As the hairbinder gains levels, their hair lash improve:

At 6th level, the reach of their hair lash increases by +5 ft. In addition, you may use your hair lash as a mean of transportation. As a swift action you may anchor yourself to an object or terrain with range, then as a move action you may pull yourself to that anchored point, landing in the nearest empty adjacent square. This 'hookshot' is treated as a ranged attack, with a range increment equal to your hair lash reach. While anchored you may not use your hair lash as a weapon, it become un-anchored as soon as you pull yourself or as a free action without moving.

At 10th level, the reach of their hair lash increases by a total of +10 ft, and it no longer provokes for attacking in melee.

At 14th level, the reach of their hair lash increases by a total of +15 ft.  Your hair can no longer take damage, cannot be severed, and can hold an unlimited amount of weight (though your neck might not).

At 18th level, the reach of their hair lash increases by a total of +20 ft.  Your hair is now considered an artifact, and does not shut down in an ''[[SRD:Antimagic Field|antimagic field]]''.

'''{{Anchor|Hair Style}}:''' Hairbinders learn to do many hair styles, and actually dress up their hair in predetermined patterns ahead of time.  Taking an hour to style one's hair after 8 hours of rest, they can fill their available slots with any hair style.  This is known as preparing a hair style.  Hair styles act not unlike an initiator's stances.  You may have only one hair style active at a time, and shift between them as a swift action to a different prepared hair style.  You gain a hair style slot at 1st, 3rd and every 3 levels beyond (6th, 9th, 12th etc). 

When you prepare an hairstyle you may prepare the greater and improved version if you qualify for them, much like the basic version these take an additional slot of prepare. Unlike a basic hair style however you gain all the bonus granted by an improved or greater version of an hairstyle as long as you are currently using that hairstyle and you have the version prepared. You do not need to change between the improved, greater and basic version of an hair style.

The hair styles usually visibly change the hairbinder's hairstyle or add supernatural details to it, allowing a character with ranks in [[SRD:Knowledge Skill|Knowledge]] (The Plane) or in [[SRD:Profession Skill|Profession]] (Hairdresser) to identify which hair style is being used with DC 20 check.
