Sun breathing

3rd-level Sun Breathing Feature

When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, your weapon deals 1 fire or radiant (your choice) additional damage.

In addition, you have a number of Sun Breathing dies equal to your proficiency bonus. As a bonus action, you can spend one of your Sun Breathing dies to roll the die and take as much damage as the result of the roll plus your constitution modifier. This damage can't be reduced in any way. This allows you to lose one level of exhaustion. You can only use this ability to lose exhaustion you have obtained from Flame Dance and Fake Rainbow.

Your Sun Breathing die is 1d4 and increases when you gain levels in this class to 1d6 at 7th level, to 1d8 at 11th level and to 1d10 at 16th level. You regain any spent Sun Breathing dies at the end of a long rest.

 

Flame Dance

3rd-level Sun Breathing Feature

Whenever you take damage, you can use your reaction to gain a level of exhaustion and resistance to the triggering damage (except psychic). In addition, your next successful attack with a weapon before the end of your next turn deals a additional damage equal to one of your roll of your Sun Breathing die.

Determination

7th-level Sun Breathing Feature

Your resolve is only strengthened as your body grows weaker and your strength of will fortifies your strength of body.

Once this effect occurs, you can't benefit from it until you finish a long rest.

- When a hostile creature makes an attack against you or cast a spell that affects you, that creature receives a "mark of the rainbow" until the end of your next turn.
