Abilities

All-Around Visiondefensive

This monster can see in all directions simultaneously and therefore can't be flanked.

Reactive Strikedefensive

Trigger A creature within the monster's reach uses a manipulate action or a move action, makes a ranged attack, or leaves a square during a move action it's using. Effect The monster attempts a melee Strike against the triggering creature. If the attack is a critical hit and the trigger was a manipulate action, the monster disrupts that action. This Strike doesn't count toward the monster's multiple attack penalty, and its multiple attack penalty doesn't apply to this Strike.

Solar Instabilitydefensive

The crownbound constellation is Fatigued and Invisible when in direct contact with the rays of the sun.

Starlightdefensive(aura, light)

15 feet. The glow of the crownbound constellation creates dim light. It can suppress or resume this ability as a free action.

Dazzling Assaultoffensive(visual)

Each enemy in the crownbound constellation's space takes 7d4 bludgeoning (DC 23 reflex). Creatures that fail this save are also Dazzled until the end of their next turn.

Star Weaponsoffensive

The crownbound constellation reforms its two weapons as +1 striking common or uncommon simple or martial weapons. These star weapons can't be disarmed, broken, dropped, destroyed, or stolen. Ranged star weapons don't require ammunition and those with a reload of 2 have a reload of 0 instead. When the crownbound constellation dies or uses its swarm shape its star weapons disappear.

Starburstoffensive(visual)

A creature that takes damage from a crownbound constellation's attack must succeed at a DC 23 fortitude save or be Dazzled for 1 minute.

Swarm Shapeoffensive(concentrate)

The crownbound constellation disperses into a shapeless swarm of Small stars. It drops all held, worn, and carried items. While discorporated, the crownbound constellation can't use attack actions, but it has a fly Speed of 40 feet and can move through areas small enough for its individual stars to fit without having to Squeeze. It can use Swarm Shape again to coalesce back into its normal form, at which point its star weapons reappear.

Description

Crownbound constellations are the essence of stars granted sentience by the goddess Desna, who created them to survey the vastness of space and help her craft the galaxy. Their intergalactic travels once took them far, but Lamashtu sought to ensnare Desna's creation. The Mother of Beasts lured them to Golarion and then, exploiting the power of Golarion's sun, corrupted their ability to star travel. Stranded on the planet and unable to bear sunlight, these creatures traveled to the Crown of the World, where they have settled ever since.

An Eon's Long Memory

Crownbound constellations have not forgotten Lamashtu's deception, or the commission set for them by Desna. Crownbound constellations frequently attack those they assume to be in league with the Mother of Monsters, and their hatred for her has severed their connection to Desna, just as Lamashtu planned.
