Gnomo-synthesis - staying in sunlight charges you with energy.

  • Releasing the stored energy can be done in the following ways:
    • 30 minutes of sunlight can be released and absorbed in place of a meal.
    • 2 hours of sunlight allows you to release the stored energy as if casting the “Light” cantrip
    • 4 hours of sunlight allows you to release the stored energy to get a +4 bonus to any roll 1 time. (including damage rolls)
    • 6 hours of sunlight can be released as Restoring Light. This heals you or a target for your level x 3 + 4
    • 8 hours of sunlight can be released as a Solar Ray. This does 2d8 radiant damage in a 30ft line.
    • Only 24 hours worth of sunlight can be stored at max. It takes multiple days to charge that much though, as there is only so much sunlight in a day and the energy decays at night.
  • Being in darkness / underground, will remove your sunlight charge at a 50% rate (2 hours of darkness, removes 1 hour of sunlight charge). Being indoors (above ground) neither charges nor removes charge.
Other Information
Appearance
-Solar Gnomes are a little bigger than normal Gnomes, probably from absorbing all that solar energy!
-They have bright colored eyes, including yellows and oranges. When they are charged with 6+ hours of sunlight, their eyes have a very slight glow, only enough to give them away in very dark situations.
Personality
-Solar Gnomes love life, and nature. They stay outdoors as much as possible in order to absorb sunlight. They are a joyous folk who are very charismatic. However they HATE bad weather, it can definitely make them grumpy. They also really don’t like going underground.
Culture
-Solar Gnomes usually live in large gardens without a ceiling, because they want access to as much sunlight as possible. This is why they are often known as Garden Gnomes, although they don’t like the term. They usually have a small covered place to sleep and store their things, because you can’t help bad weather.
-There are not many Solar Gnomes, but they keep their population going. If they interbreed with other Gnomes, their children can still be Solar Gnomes (recessive trait), but this doesn’t happen much due to their preference in living situation

Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and Gnomish. The Gnomish language, which uses the Dwarvish script, is renowned for its technical treatises and its catalogs of knowledge about the natural world.
