[QUOTE="VorpalStare, post: 2215283, member: 31325"] If you don't see the arrow or otherwise sense it in any way, you're not aware of it. Then no deflection, per the feat description. The "irrelevant" stuff is the way I would resolve determining if the target was aware of the attack. Quite relevant, IMO. Also, highly discretionary and up to the DM on how to resolve this. A reasonable rule, but not all encompassing, since the feat makes no mention of Dex bonuses to AC. What if the target is grappled (but not pinned), such as being caught in the mouth of monster, but with a hand free. I'd certainly allow her to deflect an arrow that she could see coming, even though she is denied her Dex bonus to AC by the rules. A flat-footed rogue with uncanny dodge keeps her Dex bonus but can't use this feat until she ceases to be flat-footed. [/QUOTE]
