When you use the Deflect Missiles reaction while wearing these gloves, you can spend 1 ki point to reduce the damage you take from the attack by 1d10 + your Dexterity modifier + twice your monk level instead. If you reduce the damage to 0 in this way and spend 1 ki point to throw the missile, the attack has a normal range of 30 feet and a long range of 120 feet. In addition, when a friendly creature within 5 feet of you is hit with a ranged weapon attack while you are wearing these gloves, you can use Deflect Missiles to deflect or catch the missile.
