Base Class: Ranger
In the desert seas to the south, an ancient civilization existed far more advanced that others at the time. They achieved many things thanks to their god. Their people were devout followers who gave their life for him and honored him in every way they could. Eventually came a time when another civilization believed they could best the sun god's followers. The god was angered by the show of force and granted his followers unimaginable strength to beat their foes. The city grew large but eventually fell and its history has been lost to the ages. Few descendants still remain to this day. There abilities are weakened, but even if a fraction of that power is honed, it can be quite lethal.
Divine Disciple Magic
Starting at 3rd level, you learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Disciple of Helios Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of ranger spells you know.

Solar Warrior
Starting at level 3 when you take the attack action, you may bless a weapon attack with radiant light having it deal an additional 1d6 radiant damage. 2d6 at level 10. Can only be used on 1 attack per turn.
If it hits, you can use a bonus action to force the target to roll a Dexterity saving throw. On a fail, the target will be blinded until the start of your next turn. This bonus action can be used a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier per long rest (min 1). At level 10 this get reduced to short rest.
Radiant Visage
Your connection with Helios is strengthened by your resolve. Your skin becomes fiercer and you gain resistance to fire or radiant damage.
As a reaction, before or after an enemy attempts to strikes you with a melee attack, you begin to glow blindingly. Before or after an enemy strikes you with their first melee attack they must succeed a dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC. If they fail, they are blinded until the start of their next turn. Additionally, if they fail, the first attack on their turn misses automatically. (The rest of their attacks are made at disadvantage)
