How to learn

Classes:

• Class level 3: Monk

Used by creatures:

• Mask of Terror (The Blushing Mermaid)

Notes

• Reducing damage does not negate any other effects of the attack. Conditions such as  Gaping Wounds from  Piercing Strike are still applied, even if the damage is reduced to 0.
• This reaction works against any attack that uses a ranged weapon attack roll.

Bugs

• Damage does not need to be reduced to 0 in order to redirect the attack.
• Against ranged attacks that fire multiple projectiles, such as  Multiattack (Ranged) or dual wielded Hand Crossbows, only the last attack can be deflected to reduce its damage. None of the projectiles can be thrown back with  Deflect Missiles: Redirect.
