No objection to that, one follows the other pretty naturally.

Agreed!

Ok, we're agreed on damage, prone, and stunning?

I agree.

I guess the last question is if we're making it a line or cone or something more like a fireball. I guess the original is targeted like a fireball, but I'm not clear if that matches the flavor best.

Seems that way.

I'd make it a blast, probably 20 ft. radius.

Burst? If so, I agree.

 

[Cleon]

Burst? If so, I agree.

I prefer having a blast to bursting.

20 radius it is, then.

Thus...

Searing Windblast (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, a windigo may unleash a 20-foot-radius burst of searing wind. The windblast deals 5d6 points of fire damage to all creatures in the area and knocks them prone. A successful DC X Reflex save halves the damage, and avoids being knocked prone. Additionally, creatures within the area must succeed on a DC X Fortitude save or be stunned for 1 round. The save DCs are Charisma-based(?).

I was thinking more like this:

Searing Windblast (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds, a windigo can unleash a 20-foot radius burst of searing wind. The blast deals 5d6 damage to everything in the area (equal parts fire and bludgeoning), a successful DC X Reflex save halves the damage. In addition, targets of Medium size or smaller must succeed at a DC X Fortitude save or be knocked prone and stunned for 1 round. The save DCs are Charisma-based.
