Can you block multiple missiles per round (as you have attacks of opportunity) using Cut from the air/smash from the air? The wording doesn't seem to indicate once per round like deflect arrows or missile shield.
Thoughts?
Cut from the Air: When a ranged attack is made against you
or a target adjacent to you, you can cut the weapon (or
ammunition) out of the air, deflecting the attack so the
target takes no damage. As an attack of opportunity, make
a melee attack roll at your highest bonus. If the result is
greater than the attack roll total of the ranged attack, the
attack is def lected. You must be aware of the attack and
not f lat-footed. Unusually massive ranged weapons (such
as boulders or ballista bolts) and ranged attacks generated
by spell effects cannot be def lected.
Correct, you can do so multiple times, so long as you can take more than one Attack of Opportunity in the round. That is most commonly accomplished via Combat Reflexes feat.
It's really only good to counter Archers. Arcane Archers and Spellcasters will still beat you with things like Scorching Ray and Acid Arrow. I suppose the reason they decided not to include Spells was because it'd step too much on Deflect Arrows territory (which in such an instance, would be grounds for deflection in comparison).

The next feat in the chain lets you deal with spells.
Smash from the Air: You can use Cut from the Air against unusually
massive ranged weapons (such as boulders or ballista bolts)
and ranged attacks generated by spell effects. Spell effects
that do not require attack rolls cannot be deflected.
