At a time most dark, when all other lights were snuffed out, you were kissed by the light of the sun. Its radiance shielded you from the darkness and guided you to safety. And even now that you're far away from your turmoil, the warmth of sunlight hums within you still. The sun has left its mark on you either physically like a tattoo or a brand, or a more abstract signature, like a metaphorical glow in your smile. Whatever path you choose to take now, you do so in a bright future.
- Skill Proficiencies: Persuasion and Perception.
- Languages: You can speak, read and write in a language of your choice. You can also understand the meaning behind words spoken in Celestial, but you cannot read, write or speak it yourself.
- Equipment: A bottle of black ink, a quill, a flask of holy water, a leatherbound book containing ever-changing text, a set of common clothes, and a pouch containing 10 gp.
Sometimes, Suntouched are physically marked by their interaction with the sun. Choose one from below, roll on the table, or invent your own.
d10 | Mark of the Sun |
---|---|
1 | A subtle golden tattoo around your right eye. |
2 | Your hair has turned blonde, and is always clean and silky. |
3 | A golden ring around around the pupils of your eyes. |
4 | A subtly shifting series of column-like marks along your back, almost like godrays on a cloudy day. |
5 | An almost undetectable reverb to your voice. |
6 | Your skin is always tanned, even when you haven't sunbathed. |
7 | A mark that appears to be a fresh burn mark up one of your arms. |
8 | An almost singed look to your hair and eyebrows. Sometimes, others comment on the smell of burning hair. |
9 | Your skin is paled, not unlike fabric when it's sunbleached. |
10 | Half of your face resembles that of someone with horrific sun burn. |
Those who look into your eyes can feel the warmth and radiance of the sun which hums in you still. People will have an easier time trusting you, eased by the good energy of your kind smile and gentle nature. People might be more willing to help you if they can. They might share their food with you, or open their homes or provide shelter to you and your party. Commoners might spread the word of your kindness, and nobles might extend an invitation to an event. But be warned, creatures of the night, such as the undead, can see your warmth just as easily, and they might not take so kindly to being in the presence of such garish light.
