Demon Barber
You grow no hair on your own. Your great power comes from the hide and hair of the beasts you pull it from.
Class: Variant Hairbinder
Level: 1-20
Replaces: Hair Style, Learned Hair Style, Minor Styling, Spirit Bond, Proficiencies, Improved Hair Style, Greater Hair Style
Benefit: You become proficient with the Battle Shears, Razor Sword, and all one handed slashing martial weapons, as well as all hide, hair, or leather armors.
Demon Barber: You gain max ranks for free (capped to your level+3) in Profession (Barber) and may use Profession (Barber) to skin any dead creature over the course of 10 minutes for a Medium creature. Given appropriate tools, you can even skin things it doesn't make sense to (such as a ghost with a ghost touch tool), although this aspect of the ability is Supernatural. It takes twice as long for each size category larger than Medium and half as long for each size category smaller than Medium (to a minimum of 1 minutes). You may also use Profession (Barber) to make wigs. Sadly, due to your dark barbery, you are permanently bald. You are additionally immune to any effects which would change your hair.
Wig Maker: This functions as Hair Style with the following changes: You only start with the Go Bald Hair Style, although you do not need to switch style to trigger the blinding (there is still a minimum 1 round cooldown and action associated with its use). You can not naturally gain other Hair Styles, and must instead make wigs with the fresh gathered hides of your fallen foes. In order to make a wig from a creature, it must have a CR of at least the level you'd gain access to the Hair Style, it must be at least reasonably intact, and you can only make a wig for something that would be thematically appropriate (such as Feathered Dreads from a creature with wings or Awaken Hair from a particularly intelligent creature). You have no maximum number of wigs. It is a move action to switch between wigs. Wigs are still visibly made from the creatures that are used to make them. Your wig takes up your magic item Head slot, although they only detect as magic if the Hair Style would be Supernatural or Spell-Like.
When you would gain access to Improved and Greater Hair Styles, you may make Improved and Greater wigs. These act as those versions of the Hair Styles. Additionally, your baldness progresses, and you automatically get the Improved and Greater versions of Go Bald at the appropriate levels.
Accelerated Barbercraft (Su): You may make a Profession (Barber) check over the course of 1d3 minutes. If desired, this may be used as a hair only disguise check (or may be used as an aid as part of a disguise check). You may minimize the time, but if you do the hairstyle radiates as Faint Evil until thoroughly washed.
'Strop Mastery:' As a swift action, you may sharpen your blade on a leather strop you have available. If you do, your attacks deals an additional point of damage per class level and ignores 1 point of natural armor from your target plus an additional for every 3 levels after first until the start of your next turn.
Wig Bestowment: A 3rd level Demon Barber is able to apply one of their wigs to an ally. While using Accelerated Barbercraft, the Demon Barber may place one of their wigs onto the target. For 10 minutes per class level, the ally gains a Hair Style of the Demon Barber's choice. After the duration, the wig stays in place and is still fashionable, but grants no special effects. You may not grant Go Bald in this way. The Demon Barber may use this ability once per day at 3rd level and one additional time every 4 levels after (7th, 11th, etc).
