'''{{Anchor|Light Weakness}} ([[SRD:Special Abilities Overview#Extraordinary|Ex]]):''' When exposed to sources of bright light, a chiropteryx may be rebuked or even physically harmed. It takes damage like an [[SRD:Undead Type|undead]] creature from any damage dealing spell with the [[SRD:Light Effect|Light]] descriptor and upon exposure to such forces or within the area of a light spell or effect, it becomes [[SRD:Sickened|sickened]] and must make a [[SRD:Fortitude Save|Fortitude]] save or be [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] for as long as it remains within the light source.
More than anything, natural sunlight the sun is the chiropteryx' bane. Exposure to the rays of the sun Sunlight [[SRD:Sickened|sickens]] and deals 2d6 points of damage to it every [[SRD:Round|round]], requiring it to make a DC 20 [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save to prevent [[SRD:Nauseated|nausea]]. Furthermore, direct exposure to sunlight suppresses the chiropteryx' [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]], greatly weakening it in combat. As such, it only travels overland during nights and ventures out during daytime only when sufficient cloud cover is present, or if it has no other choice.
Cantrips such as ''[[SRD:Light|light]]'' and non-magical sources of bright illumination are generally too weak to [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseate]] a chiropteryx, but they can still [[SRD:Sickened|sicken]] it.
