Sunmaster

Sunmaster is a prestige class on Faerûn whose members are those faithful of Lathander who believe he is the reincarnation of the deity Amaunator. Although they worship the Morninglord (while referring to him as Amaunator ) with the rest of his clergy, their heretical belief that Amaunator's re-acsension is close has caused a rift in the church of Lathander. Like the Morninglords of Lathander, Sunmasters represent the elite clergy, albeit on opposite sides of the disagreement. It is worth noting that Sunmasters can cast prayers, unlike the clerics of gods who pay no heed to worshipers or who are truly dead, such as Ao or Bhaal.

Most Sunmasters are former Lathanderites, although a select few are simply paladins and wizard/clerics that strongly oppose dark and chaotic forces.

With the coming of the Spellplague it was revealed that, ultimately, the Sunmasters were correct in believing Lathander and Amaunator to be one and the same.

Abilities

 * Glaring Eyes: The eyes of Sunmasters glow a bright orange. This allows for use of the searing light effect once per day and grants immunity to blindness by light.
 * Resisitance to Fire: More experienced Sunmasters, through their link to sun, gain a resistance to fire that eventually increases.
 * Sunform: The most veteran Sunmasters gain the ability to transform into a glowing ball of light. While in this form they are able to fly, they radiate light and can damage others with fire by their mere touch.
