See you tomorrow(-ish) with another Frogtober surprise.
Allow me to brighten your day

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Burn (Su) The
fire damage from a sun toad’s can be put out normally, but putting out the
positive energy damage requires a burning creature to be exposed to at least 5
points of negative energy damage (channel negative energy to harm or heal
suffices for this).
Destructive Critical
(Su) If a sun toad confirms a critical hit on an undead creature, as an
immediate action the toad can expend one use of channel positive energy (if it
has any remaining) and adds the channel energy damage to the total.
Divine Composition
(Su) Positive energy damage from a sun toad does not harm creatures not normally
damaged by positive energy, nor does it heal them (the toad can use channel
energy to heal creatures as usual). As a swift action, the toad can change all
positive energy damage it inflicts (with its aura, bite, and burn) to divine
energy, thus dealing damage to creatures that normally don’t take damage from
positive energy, and not subject to reduction by energy resistance or immunity.
The sun toad can return to dealing positive energy damage as a swift action.
Nova Death (Su) When
a sun toad is reduced to 0 hit points or less, it explodes in a fury of fire
and divine energy. All non-undead creatures within 30 feet of the toad take 3d6
points of damage and are blinded. Undead creatures take 9d6 points of damage. A
successful DC 18 Reflex save halves the damage and negates the blindness. The
save DC is Charisma-based.
Solar Aura (Su) All
creatures within 5 feet of a sun toad take 1d6 points of fire damage and 1d6
points of positive energy damage at the beginning of its turn. Additionally,
all creatures within 60 feet of the toad that look at it must succeed on a DC
18 Fortitude save or become dazzled for 1 minute. The save DC is
Charisma-based.
Sun toads are emissary creatures for deities related to the
sun and light and opposed to the undead. They are often sent to bolster temples
and individual worshippers fighting plagues of undead or creatures seeking to
darken the world. On rare occasions, sun toads arrive as a punishment from
their deities (in which case, the toads begin an encounter with their divine
composition froggled to divine energy).
Sun toads understand Celestial, so they can take orders from
powerful divine beings, but they cannot speak. However, when they arrive as a
result of divine intervention, they usually deliver a spoken message from their
deities. Their lack of speech does not denote a lack of intelligence; the toads
are able to use their abilities, and temporary allies through summon monster spells, in a tactically
sound manner.
A typical sun frog measures 3 feet long, but it is virtually
weightless. Religious scholars posit the seeming physicality from their attacks
comes from pure divine will.
