Contract Mesmerist (Tiefling Racial Archetype)

Sometimes making a devil with a devil means baring its child. Contract mesmerists are tieflings conceived for the purpose of spreading Hell’s influence into the mortal plane. Such children are expected to adventure in order to refine their inherited talents before ultimately surrendering to the wills of their progenitors.  

Phistophilus Whip Style (Ex)

A contract mesmerist can wield whips with deadly efficiency, dealing lethal damage regardless of the armor bonus of their target. At level 3, she deals 1 point of bleed damage whenever she confirms a critical hit with her whip. This bleed damage increases by +1 at levels 6, 9, 12, 15, and 18. 

This replaces painful stare.

Scribe Scroll

At 2nd level, a contract mesmerist gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat. 

This replaces Towering Ego. 

Contracted Ally (Su)

At 3rd level, a contract mesmerist can select up to one willing ally to be his contracted ally. He can implant mesmerist tricks in this ally as a swift action and activate the trick at double the normal range. A contract mesmerist can select an additional contracted ally at levels 6, 10, and 14. 

This replaces touch treatment.
