Can a monk deflect all the missiles that have hit them, or just a couple? The wording is weird on the ability.
EDIT: Y'all keep saying it's one missile. In the description of the monk, it says something in the way of a monk deflecting a hail of arrows. Why put that in there then? Also, the actual name of the ability implies more than one, hence, Deflect Missiles, not Drflect Missile. See that "S" at the end? That's plural for more than one. A player only gets one reaction, sure, but this reaction implies that a monk can deflect the blocking of multiple objects.

The feature Deflect Missile say you can use your reaction to deflect or catch the missile when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack. Being singular means it's one even if the a ranged weapon could fire more than one somehow.

It’s a reaction made against a single attack. After one use, they don’t have a reaction left until their next turn.
