Deflect Attacks

Additional Monk Feature - 3rd Level

Whenever you are hit by a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to try and deflect it. When you do, the damage you take from the attack is reduced by 1d8 + half your monk level + your Dexterity modifier. If you reduce the damage to 0, you can spend 1 Ki point and make one unarmed strike against the creature that hit you with the attack.
