Shantae.

For those of you who haven't played any of the Shantae Games, Shantae is a magic user who uses dancing to transform into animals to gain for utility or combat. She also uses her long hair as a weapon.

Build requirements.
*Any part Genie race. (Sylph or Ifrits seem most correct.)
*Performance (Dance) Maxed out.
*Some ability to wildshape/polymorph
*Hair as a weapon/improved unarmed strike
*Use Magic Device is a plus.

I was thinking some sort of Bard/Druid multiclass, but i don't know how that would hold up while stating her out. are there any classes that have wildshape that use Charisma as a casting stat?

Barring that, A bard/Sorcerer seems apt, focusing on Transmutation/polymorph spells.

Have you seen the half-janni template?

It's from the old Player Companion on Qadira.

Also, since you want a hair attack, a white-haired witch with the Transformation patron might be worth considering. There's also a prehensile hair hex, which a hexcrafter magus could take. Alternatively, the Witch VMC could take that hex.

Other than that... I need time to ponder. I've never played the games. ^_^


If you're able to use third party material, have a look at the Shifter from Spheres of Power. It lets you build customisable forms and improves your ability to use natural attacks. You could give yourself some 'tentacle' attacks and say it's your hair. :)
