Borrowing from the hangman golem's creation...
A living hair's body is crafted from a magically treated rug or tapestry interwoven with strands of hair from the creator. The necessary threads and magical dyes cost x gp. Creating the body is a complex task that requires a DC x Craft (weaving) check. Five or more ranks in the Use Rope skill grants a +2 bonus on the Craft check.
The original description indicates this creature is entirely made out of hair, so I'd like that to be reflected in the construction text.
Similarly, I get the impression its not made out of special materials, just ordinary rubbish (like a Junk Golem or Scarecrow), so could we do without the special threads, dyes or other components.
I'd prefer something like:
A living hair's body can be crafted from any sort of hair (human hair, horsehair, wool et cetera) interwoven with strands of hair from the creator. Creating the body is a complex task that requires a DC x Craft (weaving) check. Five or more ranks in the Use Rope skill grants a +2 bonus on the Craft check.
The Craft DC doesn't need to be very high - maybe DC15?
CL xth; Craft Construct, animate rope, entangle, caster must be at least xth level; Price x,000 gp; Cost x gp + x XP.
Animate rope and
entangle are fine, but I'd like to add a higher level (~4th?) spell, since those are only 1st & 2nd level spells.
How about
animate dead, since the creators imbuing unnatural life into dead organic material (i.e. hair)?
Going by the CL, price and CR examples, I'm thinking Caster Level 7 and a price of 7,500 gp.
Putting that all together could make:
A living hair's body can be crafted from any sort of hair (human hair, horsehair, wool et cetera) interwoven with strands of hair from the creator. Creating the body is a complex task that requires a DC x Craft (weaving) check. Five or more ranks in the Use Rope skill grants a +2 bonus on the Craft check.
CL 7th; Craft Construct,
animate dead,
animate rope,
entangle, caster must be at least 7th level; Price 7,500 gp; Cost 3,750 gp + 300 XP.
