Make details harder to be clear about and such. But he also may not be fully aware of what it's like to actually have light sensitive eyes. I too could have sworn that there were goggles as well, but Chris Perkins has suggested sunlight sensitivity isn't intended to just mean "has light sensitive eyes", he describes it here as being like an "allergic" reaction, though it might be easier to think of it as like being a vampire but not as severe? Although, in that case you could still argue that full hooded robes and goggles should be enough, but that'd be up to your DM and whether they think there should be some kind of drawback, like a penalty when you go indoors/underground (as your eyes adjust back to normal)? It's rare, but that's probably about right as sunlight sensitivity seems specifically intended to balance how strong Pack Tactics and Grovel can be when used well, as you'd essentially be gaining advantage during most rounds of combat when played right. I managed to find Knave's Eye Patch from Waterdeep: Dragon Heist one of it's effects is to specifically counteract sunlight sensitivity when worn. Whenever you've got a choice of quests, always take the one where you can go underground or indoors sewers, tunnels, anything enclosed is ideal. A lower level alternative is to have someone grab Fog Cloud (or take it yourself as one of your free choices if you're an Arcane Trickster?) then take Fighting Initiate - Blind Fighting, that way you could blanket the area and fight enemies inside it. If you've got a warlock in your party, tell them to get Shadow of Moil as soon as possible. You're also small, so technically Medium members of your party might cast enough shadow to help in a pinch? That one might be a bit cheap though so I wouldn't overuse it. Whenever you get into a fight, ask your DM for details about the surroundings are there trees or buildings? If so, are any of the enemies in an area of shadow or shade? If there are, then focus on those and get someone in your party to position so they trigger pack tactics (so you can get your advantage as well) while some take care of enemies out in the sun. However, unless we're talking a high noon sun with no cloud cover or other obstructions then sunlight also means shadows, so always, always fish for those. It's worth noting that the rule specifically says "direct sunlight", so it's not enough for it to just be sunny weather, you (or your target) have to be standing out in the sunlight when you attack in order to suffer disadvantage. How do you all get past the sunlight issues?
