What spells and or items have the property / trait of sunlight?


Pathfinder Second Edition General Discussion


There are a number of monsters weak or vulnerable in someway to sunlight. However, in PF2E, I don't see anything that directly says its sunlight. Even spells and items with it in the name only mention "light", "bright light", "dimlight", "fire damage" or "good damage". In PF1E there was specific references to daylight and sunlight for spells and items. My question is, in PF2E what qualifies as sunlight? For example, is "bright light" counted as "sunlight" for the purposes of determining if a specter is effected by sunlight powerlessness.


I don't see a trait for Sunlight.

As far as I can see, the only thing that actually qualifies as sunlight is literal sunlight. Everything else is either artificial light that won't trigger interactions like actual sunlight will, or they have explicit rules for how they do interact.

The Midday Lantern says that it only behaves close enough to sunlight to trigger some plot doors that react to sunlight, but explicitly says that it doesn't cause damage to things sensitive to sunlight.

Bottled Sunlight doesn't even cause anything more than normal artificial light when used to generate light. If used as a bomb it explicitly references creatures that have a sensitivity to sunlight and defines exactly how the interaction works.

The spell Sunburst doesn't mention sunlight sensitivity at all and simply relies on dealing extra Good damage to undead creatures to have a similar effect.
