When deflecting attacks as a monk, should you consider the entirety of a monsters multi attacks damage or a single damage instance of the multi-attacks?
I agree, especially because the feature says "When an attack roll hits you...", and Multiattack (similar to the Extra Attack class feature), involves two or more separate attack rolls.
Deflect Attack: "When an attack roll hits you and its damage includes Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, you can take a Reaction to reduce the attack’s total damage"
Monster has 3 attacks. First attack roll, monk deflects, using their reaction. Second monster attack monk has no reaction to deflect again.

It's a single damage instance. One hit on you, you block it and counter. Other hits - too bad, you've reacted already.
