Solar Sentinel (5e Subclass)
Solar Sentinel[edit]
Fighter Archetype
Solar Sentinels are exceptional warriors who channel the power of the sun itself. This power takes many forms, whether it be unleashing the relentless fury of the sun's heat upon evildoers or guiding the lost and frightened with the sun's unwavering light.
A Solar Sentinel embodies more than the sun's power but also its aspects. They are harsh to their enemies but gentle and warm to their allies. They are a simultaneously a beacon of hope and a herald of destruction.

Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Solar Sentinel spells. If a Solar Sentinel spell or feature requires a saving throw, your Solar Magic save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Also at 3rd level, your light lashes out at any who would harm you or your allies. When you or a friendly creature that is in the bright light created by your Solar Sentinel spells is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to attempt to blind the attacking creature. The attacker must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become blinded until the end of its next turn.
