Im sory, but that just dont seem good enough. :-/
I mean ...
Slow fall ... permanent effect would be nice, but i dont believe Larian would approve.
And make it skill you need to activate and then hope it will be used when needed, just as Hellish Rebuke just dont seem good enough. :-/
Deflect missiles ...
That is practicaly the same, its situational utility ... to make it automatic means to make it useless in many situations. :-/
Especialy since Swen himself allready told us that they are curently working on better reaction system.
I'm not sure why Larian wouldn't approve of a permanent feather fall effect on the monk. That's basically what the slow fall power is. No need for a reaction, not really.

I'm not sure what you're saying about deflect missiles. I don't follow what you mean.
A toggle to catch/deflect missiles... that's not automatic, that's a toggle. It's either on or off, depending on your choice.
Then a toggle that says whether you're going to spend a ki point and make a ranged attack if you happen to catch a missile.
I suppose it would be nice if there were better options, and I hope Larian comes up with something grand. But in the meantime, I don't think the toggle solution is bad.
Better's always better, of course, but until then.
