Is there a limit to how many missiles can be deflected?
Scenario - monk is in a hallway, gets attacked by goblins throwing javelins - six are thrown - no surprise attack - can monk roll to block all 6 or is monk limited?
Way of the Cobalt Soul is the only subclass monk that can take more than 1 reaction per round starting at 6th level, the number is based on their INTELLIGENCE Modifier with a cost of 1 Ki point for each reaction beyond the first. However, that is considered a homebrew subclass similar to gunslinger and blood hunter, it is found in Tal'Dorei Campaign Setting from Matt Mercer.

D&D Beyond FoundersThe feature uses your reaction, so can only be used to deflect a single missile attack. You regain your reaction again at the start of your next turn,
