Abilities

Solar Instability

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

Starlight

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

Dazzling Assault

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 Weapons

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.

Starburst

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 Shape

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.

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.
