Robed in Gold

At 6th level, you can conjure robes of spun sunlight to protect a creature from harm. As an action, you can bestow this blessing upon a creature you touch. While a creature is clothed in sunlight, they gain the following benefits:

• Their AC increases by 1.
• They gain resistance to radiant damage, and advantage on saving throws to avoid being blinded.
• As a reaction before they would be hit by a melee attack, you can explode the sunlight robes. The attacker must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or suffer 3d8 radiant damage and be blinded until the end of its next turn. After you do this, the robes disappear.

A creature's sunlight robes last for 1 hour. You can grant this benefit a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier, regaining all uses after a long rest.

Light and Heat

Also at 6th level, you can choose to channel your power as blazing radiance. Anytime you would deal fire, force, or radiant damage with a spell or feature, you can choose to deal either fire or radiant damage instead.

Pitiless Light

At 10th level, your Punishing Light feature improves. Its damage increases to 2d6, and creatures that fail their saving throw are now marked with a searing brand until the end of your next turn. A marked creature emits bright light in a 5-foot radius and dim light for an additional 5 feet, and can't be invisible. If a marked creature takes radiant damage, the mark explodes, dealing an additional 1d6 fire damage.

Radiant Strength

Also at 10th level, you gain resistance to your choice of fire or radiant damage. You can change this selection whenever you complete a long rest.

Solar Mantle

At 14th level, you can invest yourself with the sun's power, becoming a burning avatar. As an action, you envelop yourself glowing fire for 1 minute. While imbued in this way, you gain the following benefits:

• You have resistance to both fire and radiant damage.
• You cannot be blinded.
• You cast bright light for 60 feet, and dim light for an additional 60 feet.
• The first time each turn that a creature hits you with a melee attack, it takes 1d6 fire and 1d6 radiant damage, and must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC or be blinded until the end of its next turn.

You can empower yourself in this way once, regaining the ability after a long rest.

Unyielding Sun Patron quirks

The following are some optional quirks for a player of this subclass to choose from.

Appendix 1: Invocations

Appendix 2: Spells

Incinerate

5th-level evocation

• Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: 90 feet
• Components: V, S
• Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
• Replaces: Immolation

You channel agonizing flames, wreathing a creature you can see within range. At the start of each of its turns, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw, suffering 10d6 fire damage on a failure. On a success, it takes half as much damage and the spell ends for that creature. While a target is on fire, it casts bright light for 30 feet and dim light for an additional 30 feet.

As a bonus action, you can spread the flames from any targeted creature to another within 10 feet of it, making that creature an additional target. If damage from this spell reduces a target to 0 hit points, the target is turned to ash.

Stream of Flame

2nd-level evocation

• Classes: Sorcerer, Wizard
• Casting Time: 1 action
• Range: Self (30-foot line)
• Components: V, S, M (a drop of oil)
• Duration: Instantaneous
• Replaces Aganazzar's Scorcher

A gout of flame projects from your hand in a direction you choose. Each creature in a 30 feet long and 5 feet wide line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 4d8 fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

The flames ignite any flammable objects in the area that aren't being worn or carried.

At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d8 and the range of the line increases by 5 feet for each slot level above 2nd.
