Ki Shot

When you take the attack action, on a bonus action you can spend a ki point to make an bonus range attack with your bow.

This attack MUST use your martial arts die and does not gain the benefit of any magical bonuses to attack and damage rolls your bow may have i.e. it were as if you were doing an unarmed strike but from range. 

Magic Bow (L6)

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with your bonded bow (please add the corresponding +1 longbow or shortbow). Attacks with your bow count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance from non-magical piercing damage. 

This bonus is transferable to other long or shortbows you are wielding that have already been enchanted, provided you have proficiency with it. However, if your bow already grants a bonus to attack and damage rolls, the bonuses DO NOT stack, you are only granted the higher of the two bonuses.

Examples:
- already have a +2 longbow and now granted +1 bonus = +2 overall
- already have a +1 longbow and now granted a +2 bonus = +2 overall
- already have a +1 longbow and now granted a +1 bonus = +1 overall

You gain additional bonuses at Level 11 and Level 17.
