[QUOTE="Zog, post: 223299, member: 5083"] Deflect Arrows is one of those Monk abilities that sounds cool - but really isn't all that great. A reflex save at 20 - which as a min/maxed monk you could have a 50% chance to pull off around level 7 or so. Sooner if you have a level or rogue. But it is still only 1 arrow per round. Thus, I recommend the following: Improved Deflect Arrows Requires: Deflect arrow ability, Combat Reflexes Able to deflect, per the deflect arrow ability/feat, 1+Dex mod missles per round, assuming you are aware of them. Simple, basic, not overpowered (quite likely underpowered!) but an interesting option. Especailly if you follow the OA monk, and add this feat as one that could be taken instead of, say, improved trip. So, sugestions on ways to make it more useful? Would it help to add a +2 circumstance modifier to reflex saves made to deflect arrows? (ie - you are better, and can do it more often) Other thoughts? [/QUOTE]
