| summary = '''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 = Reduce the damage from a ranged weapon attack by 1d10 + your Dexterity [[Modifier]] + your monk level.


==Description==
If the damage is reduced to 0, you use a Ki Point to {{SAI|Deflect Missiles (Return)|Deflect the Missile}}.
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.
| extra description = You can only reduce damage from the attack - any additional effects can't be negated.

| class learns at level 3 = Monk
| notes = * Reducing damage does not negate any other effects of the attack. Conditons such as [[Gaping Wounds (Condition)|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.
