It may perform this as a free action.”Here is your edit:“Deflect Missiles (Ex):Whenever an Thing would be hit be a normal missile (an arrow, bolt, etc), it can attemp a Reflex save (DC 10+ the opponent's ranged attack bonus for the attack). If sucessfull the missile misses.”Here is the Deflect Arrows feat:You can deflect incoming arrows, as well as crossbow bolts, spears, and other projectile or thrown weapons.Prerequisites: Dex 13, Improved Unarmed Strike.Benefit: You must have at least one hand free (holding nothing) to use this feat. Once per round when you would normally be hit with a ranged weapon, you may deflect it so that you take no damage from it. You must be aware of the attack and not flat-footed. Attempting to deflect a ranged weapon doesn’t count as an action. Unusually massive ranged weapons, such as boulders hurled by giants, and ranged attacks generated by spell effects, such as Melf’s acid arrow, can’t be deflected.For the most part, they seem to work the same way.  The difference seems to be that the feat works once per round, and is automatically successful.  The ability as written is a free action that works on a Reflex save.  Would it make more sense to just give him the feat, or to take your rewrite and add a few details from the feat?…into this would be a good start: the thing I’m wondering is if I should try to keep some of the more klunky stuff from above.  The lifting in the air part, as I said earlier, might just be translatable into the Snatch feat.  But what about the part about needing the Flyby Attack to initiate the Improved Grab?Here is the stat block as I have currently fixed it up to this point:Huge Magical BeastHit Dice: 16d10+96 (184 hp)Initiative: +2Speed: 30 ft.
