Lamplighter Class for Shadowdark

LAMPLIGHTER CLASS

Owl-eyed watchers, jumpy tomb-skulkers, or selfless defenders of the light who use burning oil and grim hope to keep the literal and metaphorical dark at bay.

Weapons: Club, dagger, javelin, mace, shortsword, spear, torch

Armor: Leather armor, chainmail

Hit Points: 1d6 per level

Controlled Burn: You specially treat your torches, lanterns, and oil flasks to burn 2 times as long. Additionally, you have advantage on Light Mishaps and other checks to keep a light from going out.

Blinding Burst: You can cause a torch or lantern in hand to flare up brilliantly, blinding Close creatures for 1 round. This reduces the light source's timer by 1 hour.

Brilliant Soul: When you give your luck token to a companion, roll d6. On a 1 you keep your own token as well.
