Deflect Missiles is a Reaction gained by Monk at Level 3. Deflect Missiles allows the Monk to reduce incoming damage from ranged weapon attacks and optionally return the projectile.

Description

Use your reaction to reduce the damage from a ranged weapon attack by 1d10 + your Dexterity Modifier + your monk level. If the damage is reduced to 0, you use a Ki Point to Deflect the Missile.

Notes

  • Reducing damage does not negate any other effects of the attack. Conditons such as Gaping Wounds from a Piercing Strike are still applied, even if the damage is reduced all the way to 0.

Bugs

  • This feature seems to behave weirdly with certain weapons, possibly due to bugs.
    • Deflect Missiles does not trigger at all against attacks from Giantbreaker.
    • Against dual wielding Hand Crossbows, the first attack will always hit; the second attack can be reduced by Deflect Missiles, but Deflect Missiles (Return) never triggers.
