He is the Doppelbart, if you will, being both a bearded warrior and a bearded devil. Between the bearded devil's Beard ability and Beardfist Warrior's Bearded Devil's Bane ability, you can garner several free attacks with your beard, assuming you hit and are attacking multiple foes. Behold, Stankbeard, the Beardfisted Barbazu! Stankbeard (Barbazu6/Beardfist Warrior5)Medium Outsider (Evil, Extraplanar, Lawful)Size: MediumHD: 11d8+77 (125 HP)Initiative: +2Speed: 40 ftAC: 36 (10 +2 Armor + 7 Con + 7 Con + 7 Natural +3 Shield) 27 Touch, 36 Flat FootedBAB/Grab: +11/+11Attack: Glaive +16 (1d10+7) or UAS +14/+14 (1d8+7) plus BeardFull Attack: Glaive +16/+11/+6 (1d10+7) or UAS +14/+14/+9/+4 (1d8+7) plus Beard and 2 Claws +9/+9 (1d6+2) plus BeardSpace/Reach: 5’/5’ (10 with Glaive)Special Attacks: Infernal Wound, Beard, Battle Frenzy, Summon Devil, Badass Beard, Bearded Devil’s Bane, Hammer Fist BlowSpecial Qualities: <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#damageReduction" target="_blank">Damage reduction</a> 5/<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialMaterials.htm#silverAlchemical" target="_blank">silver</a> or good, <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#darkvision" target="_blank">darkvision</a> 60 ft., <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#fireImmunity" target="_blank">immunity to fire</a> and <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#poison" target="_blank">poison</a>, <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#resistanceToEnergy" target="_blank">resistance</a> to acid 10 and cold 10, see in darkness, <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellResistance" target="_blank">spell resistance</a> 22, <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#telepathy" target="_blank">telepathy</a> 100 ft.Saves: F+20/R+9/W+14Abilities: Str 20 Dex 15 Con 24 Int 11 Wis 11 Cha 10Skills: Balance +7, Climb +10, Craft(Booze) +14, Handle Animal +5, Heal +5, Listen +14, Spot +14, Survival +8, Tumble +16 Feats: Great FortitudeB Improved UAS, Endurance, Superior UAS, Snap KickCR: 10Combat Stankbeard is a feared combatant. Like most Barbazu, Stankbeard carries around his saw-toothed glaive, but in reality, he rarely uses it. After the first round of combat, Stankbeard will drop his glaive, pummeling foes and tearing at them with his claws and razor sharp yet delightfully refined beard. Any foe struck more than once by his beard in a round is subject to a followup Beard attack, as is any foe struck by both claws in a round. Because of this, Stankbeard often utilizes Snap Kick (or Beardshank, as he refers to the maneuver) to make as many attacks on as many foes as possible. Stankbeard has the ability to start grapples with his beard, but doesn’t often utilize this tactic unless it is against a single foe. Stankbeard’s <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#naturalWeapons" target="_blank">natural weapons</a>, as well as any weapons it wields, are treated as evil-aligned and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#damageReduction" target="_blank">damage reduction</a>.   <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellLikeAbilities" target="_blank">Spell-Like Abilities</a> At will— <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/teleportGreater.htm" target="_blank">greater teleport</a> (self plus 50 pounds of objects only). Caster level 17th.  Infernal Wound (<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#supernaturalAbilities" target="_blank">Su</a>): The damage Stankbeard deals with its <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/equipment/weapons.htm#glaive" target="_blank">glaive</a> causes a persistent wound. An injured creature loses 2 additional hit points each round. The wound does not heal naturally and resists healing spells. The continuing hit point loss can be stopped by a DC 22 <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/heal.htm" target="_blank">Heal</a> check, a cure spell, or a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/heal.htm" target="_blank">heal</a> spell. However, a character attempting to cast a cure spell or a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/heal.htm" target="_blank">heal</a> spell on a creature damaged by a Stankbeard’s glaive must succeed on a DC 22 <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/magicOverview/castingSpells.htm#casterLevelChecks" target="_blank">caster level check</a>, or the spell has no effect on the injured character.A successful <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/skills/heal.htm" target="_blank">Heal</a> check automatically stops the continuing hit point loss as well as restoring hit points. The infernal wound is a <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#supernaturalAbilities" target="_blank">supernatural ability</a> of the Stankbeard, not of the weapon. The check DC is Constitution-based. Beard (<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#extraordinaryAbilities" target="_blank">Ex</a>): If Stankbeard hits a single opponent with both claw attacks, it automatically hits with its beard. The affected creature takes 1d8+7 points of damage and must succeed on a DC 22 <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm#fortitude" target="_blank">Fortitude save</a> or be infected with a vile <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#disease" target="_blank">disease</a> known as <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#devilChills" target="_blank">devil chills</a> (incubation period 1d4 days, damage 1d4 Str). Damage is dealt each day until the afflicted creature succeeds on three consecutive Fortitude saves, the disease is cured magically, or the creature dies. The save DC is Constitution-based. Battle Frenzy (<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#extraordinaryAbilities" target="_blank">Ex</a>): Twice per day, Stankbeard can work himself into a battle frenzy similar to the <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/classes/barbarian.htm" target="_blank">barbarian’s</a> rage (+4 Strength, +4 Constitution, +2 <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/theBasics.htm#moraleModifier" target="_blank">morale bonus</a> on <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/combatStatistics.htm#will" target="_blank">Will saves</a>, -2 AC penalty). The frenzy lasts for 6 rounds, and Stankbeard suffers no ill effects afterward.   <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#summon" target="_blank">Summon</a> Devil (<a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#spellLikeAbilities" target="_blank">Sp</a>): Once per day Stankbeard can attempt to <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/specialAbilities.htm#summon" target="_blank">summon</a> 2d10 <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/devil.htm#lemure" target="_blank">lemures</a> with a 50% chance of success, or another bearded devil with a 35% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell.  Slow But Steady (Ex):Stankbeard adds his Constitution modifier to his armor class in place of his Dexterity modifier. Badass Beard (Ex):The Beadfist Warrior's beard may be used to deliver unarmed strikes and grants him the Improved Grab ability. Axe-Hand Strike (Ex):Stankbeard's unarmed strikes may deal slashing damage should he so choose. What Doesn't Kill You (Ex):Whenever he successfully saves against a poison, Stankbeard heals hit points equal to his Constitution modifier. Beard of Awesome +3 (Ex):Through years of dedicated training and hair conditioning, the beard remains as soft and supple as ever, yet can harden in moments of danger to grant Stankbeard a +3 shield bonus to AC. Activating this ability is a swift action.  Elbow of Justice (Ex):Stankbeard's unarmed strikes may deal piercing damage should he so choose. Abs of Steel (Ex):In addition to substituting his Constitution modifier in place of his Dexterity modifier for armor class, Stankbeard now adds his Constitution modifier to his armor class as an untyped bonus. Treat this as a monk's armor class bonus. Bearded Devil's Bane (Ex):Whenever Stankbeard lands two unarmed attacks on an opponent, his beard automatically hits. Steel Fan Kick (Ex): The secret martial arts maneuver known only to the Macehand monastery grants a +2 to trip attempts. Nerves of Steel (Ex):The techniques of self-discipline taught in the Macehand monastery's inner chambers grants Stankbeard the ability to use his Constitution modifier in place of his Wisdom modifier for determining will saves. In addition, frequent exposure to alcohol hardens his liver, preventing him from automatically failing a fortitude save when he rolls a 1. Hammer-Fist Blow (Ex):Inspired by the fighting style of the legendary captain J. T. Kirk, this technique allows Stankbeard to gain 1.5 his Str bonus to damage with his Unarmed Strike (and Beard). He is also able use Power Attack to get a 2:1 benefit for the penalty taken. 21,000g worth of gear (reflected in statblock)4000 +2 Con Neck4000 +2 Str Belt4000 Bracers of Armor +21400 Anklets of Translocation3400 Scout’s Headband3000 Otyuth Hole1000 Cloak of Resistance +1200g in gems Stankbeard is referred to as such due to the foul odor that emanates from his beard. Whispers say that his beard acquired this odor when he was sentenced to live in an Otyuth Hole for a year by a Pit Fiend, but nobody who has ever asked Stankbeard about this has ever lived to tell the tale.</blockquote>
