===Strategies and Tactics===

Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind will mostly fight like a phoenix, with a few notable differences.  The biggest is that, as Bun-Mi is the physical representation of a constellation, can't move too far from its assigned path.  She makes good use of her SLAs and will, if at all possible, make use of its 7 Mansions of the Moon ability.

Bun-Mi will protect the aspects of its domain and those under its aegis, and is less concerned with death even than most phoenixes.

== Combat ==

'''Legacy:''' The legacy bonus of Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind is +2.

'''Fire  Absorption (Ex):''' Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind heals from Fire effects and damage.

'''Self-Resurrection (Su):''' A slain phoenix remains dead for only 1d4 rounds unless its body is completely destroyed by an effect such as disintegrate. Otherwise, a fully healed phoenix emerges from the remains 1d4 rounds after death, as if brought back to life via resurrection. The phoenix gains 1 permanent negative level when this occurs, although most use greater restoration to remove this negative level as soon as possible. A phoenix can self-resurrect only once per year. If Bun-Mi dies a second time before that year passes, she will self-resurrect on the first day of the next Summer. A phoenix that dies within the area of a desecrate spell cannot self-resurrect until the desecrate effect ends, at which point the phoenix immediately resurrects. A phoenix brought back to life by other means never gains negative levels as a result.

'''Shroud of Flame (Su):''' Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind can cause her feathers to burst into fire as a free action. As long as its feathers are burning, it inflicts an additional 1d6+11 points of fire damage with each natural attack (listed above), and any creature within reach (20 feet, but see Parallax) must make a DC 29 Reflex save each round to avoid taking 4d6+12 points of fire damage at the start of its turn.  Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind may exclude creatures from its Shroud of Flame as a free action (which it normally will on those it doesn't see as threats).  A creature that attacks Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind with natural or non-reach melee weapons takes 1d6+11 points of fire damage (no save) with each successful hit. The save DC is Constitution-based.

'''Purified Fire (Su):''' Half of all Fire damage dealt by Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind is Divine damage.

'''The Legacy Lives On (Ex):''' if a legacy monster fails a saving throw against a spell or effect that would kill or destroy it outright, it instead takes damage as though it suffered a disintegrate spell as cast by a spellcaster with the appropriate caster level.

'''Throw Off the Disability (Ex):''' If a legacy monster is targeted by a non-instantaneous effect or harmful status condition, it can recover far quicker from it. For the purpose of a legacy monster throwing off status conditions or control impairing effects such as being slowed, confused, stunned, deafened and the like, one round counts as a number of rounds equal to the monster's legacy bonus + 1 (maximum 10). Regardless of its legacy bonus, a legacy monster is completely immune to any negative effect that only lasts one round.

'''Parallax (Ex):''' Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind always appears the same size, no matter how far away she is viewed.  Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind always counts as being in melee with creatures it can see and vice versa.  This also allows Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind to affect any creature it can see with its Shroud of Flame.

'''7 Mansions of the Moon (Ex):''' Bun-Mi of the Southern Wind is associated very heavily with Summer.  During Summer, Bun-Mi has one of the following effects, depending upon the date.

''Well:'' Bun-Mi may lower its current and max hp by 100 as a free action usable outside of its turn to take an extra turn immediately.  This doesn't change Bun-Mi's initiative.  The max hp penalty lasts for 24 hours.

''Ghost:'' Bun-Mi gains the Incorporeal Subtype, except that she gets its natural armor instead of its Charisma to its Deflection, and her keeps its Strength score.

''Willow:'' Half of all damage Bun-Mi takes (before damage reduction, resistence, immunity, etc.) is also dealt to the damage dealer.  Damage type remains the same.

''Star:'' Bun-Mi's Fire damage becomes Fire, Light, and Lightning damage, requiring resistance or immunity to all to reduce the damage.

''Net:'' Any creature dealt damage by Bun-Mi is entangled for 1 round.  A creature that is damaged by Bun-Mi for 3 turns in a row is also immobilized for 1 round.

''Wings:'' Bun-Mi may make an additional swift or move action on each of its turns.

''Chariot:'' Bun-Mi is permanently Hasted, and leaves a trail of fire (as its Shroud of Flame) for 1 round in its wake.
