Alright so I have one.
Original
Benefit: Once per round while using Crane Style, when you have at least one hand free and are either fighting defensively or using the total defense action, you can deflect one melee weapon attack that would normally hit you. You expend no action to deflect the attack, but you must be aware of it and not flat-footed. An attack so deflected deals no damage to you.

A natural twenty may not be deflected.

I'd just add that deflecting an attack counts as an AoO that can be made even when using total defense (wich normally prevents AoOs). If you also have Crane Riposte, the Riposte attack is counted as part of that AoO that you used to deflect (so you only burn one to deflect-riposte).
