Child of the Sun

You are resistant to radiant damage. Any natural negative effect of the sun, such as heating, sunburn, UV radiation, etc, does not affect you. You can look directly at the sun without any issues. Any blinding effect relying on light does not affect you.

Radiance

Direct sunlight empowers you, filling your soul like a battery. In the time of a short rest (rest isn't required, just exposure), you can fully charge your radiant power, which gives you the following benefits:

  • Gain temporary Hit Points equal to 2 per level
  • Recharge 33%, augment; gain advantage to a Strength, Constitution, or Charisma check
  • Radiate bright light in a 5 square radius, and dim light for an additional 5 squares. Any creatures vulnerable to natural sunlight are also vulnerable to this light.
  • Lay on Hands: at-will, std, touch; you heal the subject. Your total healing pool is equal to your level x 5, after which your radiance needs to be recharged.

Relevant Feats

  • Solar Flare: You can unleash a burst of radiant energy, blinding and damaging your foes.
  • Sun's Embrace: You can heal yourself or an ally by channeling the sun's energy, restoring hit points and curing conditions.
