“First in, Last out.” Deflect Missiles states “when you are hit by a ranged weapon attack”. The actions list on monster entries state those “ranged weapon attacks” right after the name of the action, for ease of reference.
How fast do you fall per round 5e?
In the world of D&D 5e, you fall 500ft in 6 seconds (a round). Assuming of course you do not hit the ground before then. You take damage if you fall further than 10ft. Every subsequent 10ft is worth 1d6 of bludgeoning damage.
How far can you fall without taking damage 5e?
The Player’s Handbook states: “A fall from a great height is one of the most common hazards facing an adventurer. At the end of a fall, a creature takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage for every 10 feet it fell, to a maximum of 20d6. The creature lands prone, unless it avoids taking damage from the fall.”
When do you use slow fall on a monk?

Can a monk cancel the damage from a fall?
Our monk buddy is going to cancel the fall damage just fine due to his class feature (though one could argue he needs a free hand or something to touch a wall depending on the world). Lidda also gets off easy, so long as the monk keeps a hold of her.
Why do monks not need to do damage?
The second reason I’m disheartened is that those defending Monks claim that they don’t need to do damage or be effective at combat maneuvers, and in fact, their job is to pile on defense, run around combat, and (hopefully) draw the attacks of the enemy, and who knows, maybe they’ll get a lucky roll on a trip? Ugh.
What are the disadvantages of being a monk?
One of the greatest disadvantages of the Monk is that you need to full attack to get the advantage of flurry, but with Shuriken, that doesn’t necessarily require you to get into melee range. A Monk can throw 2 shuriken per round at first level, adding Str bonus to each.
