assassins are no monks though in DnD.. they don't get deflect arrows right? 
Anyway for the sake of balance : just give ONE of the troops the deflect missile thingie, so if you face a archer heavy player you are not completely with you back against the wall.. (btu the race I MP with now, midgard doesn't have anything and that is good.. a race should have weaknesses)
