See, I do. It is too good at low levels. Martial arts die instead of d10 would help. I'd probably go for 2 martial arts dice + half monk level or such.I don't think Deflect Attack is too good. I think that's exactly what the Monk needed to be able to stay in melee, and the damage they do is in line with other melee fighting PCs.
mass healing word's healing quantity is sort of meaningless most of the time. The difference between healing 1 hit point of damage and 17 hit points of damage at those levels is the same - one hit and you'd go back down anyway.
Or make it a martial art die + prof bonus + dex and add monk level and damage after spending a ki point.
I don't say it should be nerfed into oblivion. It just feels a tiny bit too much compared to other abilities (uncanny dodge).
There is a difference between 1 and 2d4 per spell level. Usually the difference between surviving a low level area spell or not. (Ah, this is what low level are spells can be used for).
