Blinding Light (Ex) A rogue star sheds bright light in a 300-foot radius and normal light out to an unlimited range (though the light is blocked by opaque barriers, as normal). The bright light shed by a rogue star functions as a blinding gaze attack with the light descriptor: Blinding Gaze—blinded for 1 round, 300 ft., Fortitude DC 27 negates. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Planar Acclimation (Ex) A rogue star is always considered to be on its home plane, regardless of what plane it finds itself upon. It never gains the extraplanar subtype.
Steal the Sun (Su) Whenever a rogue star first enters a creature’s line of sight, if that creature was previously able to see the Sun, that creature sees the rogue star as the Sun descending from the sky. The creature loses the ability to see the actual sun, its eyes skipping over the section of sky containing the Sun as if that section of sky weren’t there. The creature still sees sunlight and shadows normally; it simply cannot locate their source by inspecting the sky above.
Sun Jump (Su) As a standard action, a rogue star can teleport itself to the surface of the Sun, or from the surface of the Sun to any familiar location on or above the surface of any planet. It can only teleport itself to a location on or above a planet if that location is currently exposed to direct sunlight. This ability is a teleportation effect.
Sun Scry (Su) While on the surface of the Sun, a rogue star can duplicate the effects of a greater scrying spell (CL 20th) as a standard action. This scrying attempt automatically fails if the target isn’t standing in direct sunlight, and ends immediately if the target is no longer standing in direct sunlight. This ability is a divination (scrying) effect.

A rogue star is one of the Tane, powerful creatures created by the lords of the fey to fight wars, spy on enemies, and cause trouble for the fey lords’ amusement. Rogue stars are living balls of elemental fire that burn with light nearly as bright as sunlight. A rogue star takes the appearance of the Sun descending from the sky. It also has the ability to transport itself to the actual Sun, and can use that high vantage point to scry on creatures standing in sunlight.

Most rogue stars are content to lurk in the sky, scrying on well-known fey and making occasional sojourns to various planets. Their visits are usually short and uneventful, as rogue stars make little effort to interact with the natives. However, rogue stars are staunch defenders of the fey. Should a rogue star witness the killing of a fey or the theft of an important item belonging to the fey, it wages a campaign of fiery vengeance upon the perpetrator of the act.
