Hou Yi

The Archer

Bonus Proficiencies

While bound to Hou Yi, you gain proficiency with blowguns, hand crossbows, heavy crossbows, longbows, and nets.

Fighting Style: Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Sunkiller’s Quiver

Whenever you would draw a weapon, you can summon the antique but exquisitely crafted longbow and quiver used by Hou Yi. The quiver contains an unlimited supply of nonmagical arrows and 9 sunkiller arrows. This equipment lasts until you dismiss it on your turn (no action required) or you are no longer bound to Hou Yi. 
A sunkiller arrow deals fire damage instead of piercing damage and deals an extra 1d4 fire damage on a hit. When a  sunkiller arrow hits a target, it explodes in a 5-foot-radius sphere and is destroyed. The arrow can be fired at an unoccupied space within its range. Each creature other than the target within the blast radius must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw, taking half the damage rolled for the attack on a failed save, or no damage on a successful one. Once a sunkiller arrow is used, it can’t be used again until you finish a long rest.

Trait: Eagle’s Eyes

While bound to Yi, your eyes are replaced with that of an eagle’s, bordered by resplendent feathers. Because of this, you can use your Charisma modifier, instead of Dexterity, for your attack and damage rolls with ranged weapons. Additionally, if you make a Wisdom (Perception) check that relies on sight, you can treat the result as a 10, or your binder level plus your Charisma modifier, whichever is higher.

A legendary archer that shot down many suns, Hou Yi grants his binders his eagle vision and his skill with the bow.

Legend

In the early years of the world, the deep flaws in its creation manifested as terrible catastrophes, each more cataclysmic than the last. In one such catastrophe, ten suns rose over the horizon, boiling the seas and scorching the land. It would seem the gods were powerless to stop it, so the great hunter Hou Yi rode to the peak of the highest mountain with his bow. One by one, he shot the suns down, which crashed to the earth, forming islands where they landed As thanks for his great deed, the gods bequeathed Yi a boon of apotheosis, an elixir that would grant whoever drank it eternal life and propel them to godhood. Instead of drinking it immediately, Yi hid the potion in his home, hoping that he might find a way to bring his beloved wife with him to godhood.
However, Yi’s jealous apprentice, Feng Meng, attempted to steal the elixir for himself. Rather than let the thief take the potion, Yi’s wife drank it instead, ascending and becoming a goddess of the moon. Yi was furious, having lost his wife and his own bid at immortality, so he battled his apprentice to the death. However, having used all but one of his arrows to slay the suns, Yi was no match for his apprentice, who drew close and beat him to death with a club. 
Yi’s vestige is a battered and bruised amalgamation of eagle and man, with piercing eagle eyes and broken arms.
