Darkvision

A monster with darkvision can see perfectly well in areas of darkness and dim light, though such vision is in black and white only. Some forms of magical darkness, such as a 4th-level Darkness spell, block normal darkvision. A monster with Greater Darkvision, however, can see through even these forms of magical darkness.

Attack of Opportunity

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.

Construct Armor (Hardness 14)

Like normal objects, the Living Sun-Spire has Hardness. This Hardness reduces any damage it takes by an amount equal to the Hardness.

Once the statue is reduced to less than half its Hit Points, or immediately upon being damaged by a critical hit, its construct armor breaks and its Armor Class is reduced to 32.

Steal the Sun (divine, evocation)

Trigger A creature within 30 feet of the sun-spire begins to Cast a Spell that has the fire or light trait

---

Effect The sun-spire attempts to redirect the energy from the triggering effect into its sunlight stores. The sun-spire attempts to counteract the triggering spell with a +22 counteract bonus. If it successfully counteracts the spell, the sun-spire's sunlight stores are empowered. While empowered, the sun-spire deals an additional 2d8 fire damage with all of its attacks and abilities. The sun-spire remains empowered until the end of its next turn.

Beam of the Seven Suns (divine, evocation, fire)

The sun-spire collects solar energy and uses the energy to create a deadly beam of fire. It fires the beam in a 120-foot line, dealing 11d8 fire damage to all creatures in the line (DC 33 basic reflex save). The concentrated beam ignites everything in its path, including the air, creating a wall of burning flame along the line that continues to burn until the end of the sun-spire's next turn. This wall has the effects of a 5th-level Wall of Fire spell, dealing 5d6 fire damage to any creature that crosses the wall or occupies the wall's area at the start of its turn. The sun-spire can't use the Beam of the Seven Suns again for 1d4 rounds, although rounds it's not in sunlight don't count toward this number.

Trample

Large or smaller, arm, DC 33 basic reflex

---

The monster Strides up to double its Speed and can move through the spaces of creatures of the listed size, Trampling each creature whose space it enters. The monster can attempt to Trample the same creature only once in a single use of Trample. The monster deals the damage of the listed Strike, but trampled creatures can attempt a basic Reflex save at the listed DC (no damage on a critical success, half damage on a success, double damage on a critical failure).

Grab

Requirements The monster's last action was a success with a Strike that lists Grab in its damage entry, or it has a creature grabbed using this action.

---

Effect The monster automatically Grabs the target until the end of the monster's next turn. The creature is Grabbed by whichever body part the monster attacked with, and that body part can't be used to Strike creatures until the grab is ended. Using Grab extends the duration of the monster's Grab until the end of its next turn for all creatures grabbed by it. A grabbed creature can use the Escape action to get out of the grab, and the Grab ends for a grabbed creatures if the monster moves away from it.
