Sunlight Resistance

The sun, though still your nemesis, is not as instantly destructive to you as it is to other vampires. You still feel its sting, but you may actually function briefly in the light of day.

Prerequisites: Vampire.

Benefits: For a number of rounds equal to your Charisma modifier you are only staggered in direct sunlight. After that you remain staggered and on the next round take one third of your hit points in damage. No damage reduction can reduce this. The next round you are utterly destroyed. If you make it back to cover from the sun for one full round, your “count” of rounds of resistance resets.

Normal: Exposing any vampire to direct sunlight staggers it on the first round of exposure and destroys it utterly on the second consecutive round of exposure if it does not escape.
