SQ altar of the unforgiving sun

Altar of The Unforgiving Sun (Su) Dame Sungazer can spend 1d6 hours building an altar from available stone, clay, bones, and metal. Once the altar is finished and exposed to direct sunlight, its composite materials fuse together forming a durable construction (hardness 10, 100 hit points). Mortals that spend time praying or meditating by the altar, or make a symbolic offering at it, gain +1 profane bonus to Constitution checks, and Fortitude saving throws against thirst, starvation, heat, and disease for one day. When a living creature is sacrificed, or the petitioners bleeds themselves, they receive +2 bonus for 1d6 days. If a sapient creature is sacrificed, the petitioners receive +5 bonus that will last for 1d3 weeks. The altar projects an aura that slowly turns the area hotter and drier, as long as people come to pray and sacrifice at the altar. It is unclear how many altars can be erected and maintained by Dame Sungazer at the same time, though she keeps them separated by days of foot travel at least.

Scouring Winds (Su) Dame Sungazer can invoke winds that blast her enemies with coarse, flesh-rending sand, dealing 10d6 points of damage within 60 feet line, 30 feet cone, or 10 feet spread centered on her. A successful Reflex saving throw halves the damage. Dame Sungazer never suffers negative effects of her scouring winds or sandstorms of any sort.

Unnerving Gaze (Su) Creatures that meet Dame Sungazer's eyes become blinded for 1d4 rounds, only capable of clearly seeing her and the blinding sun in the sky (even when in buildings or underground).

Dame Stargazer is a kyton obsessed with the sun and the torment that its heat and light can inflict on the living. She claims to pursue deeper truth in the visions induced by heatstroke and deprivation in mortal beings. She sometimes seeks lost travelers and prisoners condemned to death by desert, offering them enough water and aid to keep them alive but deprived and hallucinating listening to their rambling. At other times, she deceives local denizens into idolatry at the altars she constructs, turning the land slowly into more deadly and less hospitable to others.
