Special Abilities

Balanced Alignment (Su) A periastra is always both photon attuned and graviton attuned (but not fully attuned). If subject to an effect that depends on the periastra’s stellar alignment, the periastra uses whichever attunement is most beneficial to it. Flashing Strikes (Ex) This functions as the flashing strikes solarian class feature. Graviton Crush (Su) A periastra can crush an enemy with gravity; this is a ranged attack with a range of 30 feet and that targets EAC. A creature hit by graviton crush must succeed at a DC 16 Fortitude saving throw or be entangled. It can attempt a new Fortitude save once per round as a move action. A periastra cannot use graviton crush two turns in a row. If the periastra makes a full attack using graviton crush, it must use graviton crush for both attacks. Stellar Revelations (Su) A periastra can use the blazing orbit and defy gravity solarian stellar revelations. However, it cannot use the same revelation two turns in a row, and it cannot use both revelations on the same turn. Sun Hurl (Su) A periastra can throw balls of superheated plasma at a foe. This is a ranged attack with a range increment of 30 feet and that targets EAC. A creature hit by sun hurl must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or gain the burning condition (1d6 fire damage). This condition doesn’t stack with itself, but does with any other burning condition. The periastra cannot use sun hurl two turns in a row. If the periastra makes a full attack using sun hurl, it must use sun hurl for both attacks.
