Apollo also blesses you with another boon. You can now summon Apollo's Chariot once per day. This feature works the same as the spell Find Greater stead, but instead of summoning a creature you summon Apollo's golden Chariot, Which is yoked to a team of four radiant steads. Apollo's Chariot has the same description as a Flying Chariot being pulled by a team of Pegasus.

Chariots:

Chariots and the creatures being pulling them work like controlled mounts, as described by the mounted combat rules in the Players Handbook, but with the following differences:

• Mounting or dismounting a chariot cost you 5 feet of movement, rather than number of feet equal to half your speed.
• Being mounted on a chariot grants you half cover.
• A chariots speed is equal to the slowest creature pulling it.
• If multiple creatures are pulling the chariot, they all act on the same initiative, and they must make the same action on their turn.

Exhalted: Rifle +4

Apollo has been a guiding light in your travels for a while now and because of your faithfulness and courageousness, he bestows upon you the title of his champion.

The magic rifle begins to change form increasing the number of rounds , caliber size, and diameter of the barrel. The rifle now holds 10 rounds and does 2d12 radiant damage. Its standard range is now increased to 200/800 and a misfire is is lowered to a 2 or lower. 

Right to Bare Arms: As an action you present Apollo's Reach, and any magical darkness within 30 feet of you is dispelled. Additionally, each hostile creature within 30 feet of you must make a constitution saving throw. A creature takes 2d12 radiant damage on a failed saving throw, and half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that has total cover is unaffected. 

 

It’s up to you to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn’t have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player’s Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.
