Abilities
Burning Sacrifice (divine, fire) — When the sun warrior is destroyed, they explode in a blast of flame that deals 6d6 fire damage in a 10-foot emanation (DC 27 Reflex save). Creatures that critically fail their saves are marked with Walkena's religious symbol on a visible area of their body, which remains for 1 day. This mark allows Walkena to treat the creature as if he knew the creature's identity but not having met them for the purposes of Scrying, lowering the spell's DC by 2. The sun warrior's gear and treasure are unaffected by the explosion and left in a pile where they die.
Void Healing — A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
Constrict — 1d4+9 bludgeoning plus 2d6 fire{1d4+9 bludgeoning plus 2d6 fire damage}, DC 27 Fortitude save
The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC.

Knocking Sweep — Frequency once per round
Effect The sun warrior swings their weapon with a sweeping spin. They attempt separate Athletics checks to Trip any number of creatures within their reach. Each attempt counts toward the sun warrior's multiple attack penalty, but the multiple attack penalty doesn't increase until after they make all the attacks.

Pinning Thrust — The sun warrior attempts to drive their spear through a foe to pin them in place. The sun warrior makes a spear Strike. On a hit, the target's clothes, armor, or other piece of equipment becomes pinned to the ground. The sun warrior Releases the spear, and the target is Immobilized until they can remove the spear (Escape). If the Strike was a critical hit, the DC increases by 2.

WORKS WELL WITH
SniperLANDA ranged attacker can stay outside the grapple range and the eventual death-burst radius, dealing damage without risking being caught when this brute finally falls.
WeaverLANDA caster can layer save-based debuffs onto a foe that this brute's trip and pin abilities already keep from disengaging, stacking control faster than the target can recover.
PUNISHES
✖ clumping✖ melee reliance✖ low Fortitude saves
Avoid stacking with other explosive melee brutes, since redundant death-burst threats crowd the same squares without adding new pressure elsewhere.
