When you use this effect, until the start of your next turn you gain Advantage equal to your Deflect rank to your Block attempts as an Active defense. You can also Block ranged attacks against you as well as close attacks.
If the ranged attack is a physical weapon and your Deflect check is successful, you can choose to Catch the weapon as part of your Deflect action instead of simply knocking it aside, if that makes sense for the descriptors of your effect. Deflect does not work against Area Effects, attacks that do not require an attack check, or attacks targeting defenses other than Reflex or Fortitude.
