Photosynthetic Skin

---

You replenish yourself by absorbing sunlight through your hearty green skin.

You can bask in the sunlight instead of eating a meal to gain a special metabolizing effect for (1, 2) days: +(20 + Level * 4)% to natural healing rate and +(1 + Ceiling(Level / 2.0) Quickness

While in the sunlight, you accrue starch and lignin that you can use as ingredients in meals you cook (max (1,2,3) of each).

+200 reputation with roots, trees, vines, and the Consortium of Phyta

When low on food, rather than becoming famished, you wilt, giving -10% regeneration and -5 quickness. Additionally, mutants with Photosynthetic Skin can be harmed greatly by defoliant gas.
