The folks in my campaign like superhero-inspired character ideas. So, here is my attempt at creating an Amazon race. I don't think the Amazonian missile deflection is too overpowered, but it may be slightly so at first level.
Amazons
The chosen people of a goddess or goddesses, Amazons live in a secret island, valley, or other secluded place. However, they often leave their secluded lives to spread the Amazonian message of peace and justice throughout the wider world.
Amazonian Traits
Ability Score Increase
Your Charisma score increases by 2, and your Strength and Wisdom scores each increase by 1.
Age
Amazons mature at the same rate humans do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They live much longer than humans, however, often exceeding 400 years.
Gender & Appearance
Amazons are always female. They appear as humans, but tend to be much taller than the average human woman, averaging six feet in height. Your size is Medium.
Speed
Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Messengers of Peace
Amazons seek to spread their message of peace and justice. You are proficient in the Persuasion skill.
Amazonian Weapons Training
Although devoted to peace, Amazons train for war. You have proficiency with the spear, longsword, shortsword, shortbow, and longbow.
Amazonian Bracelets
All Amazons wear Adamantine bracelets as a symbol of their devotion to Amazonian ideals. You may use these bracelets as a Holy Symbol or Arcane Focus. Additionally, you are trained to use these bracelets to protect yourself or others. When a ranged weapon attack hits you or a creature within 5 feet of you while you're wearing them, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Proficiency Bonus, provided that you have a free hand. You may also perform this feat with a shield.
Languages
You speak Common and two other languages of your choice.

Last I checked, Diplomacy in 5e was called Persuasion.
