I'm sure this has been answered before, but I'm trying to figure out how to use a Counterspell.
1. Do you have to win initative against the other spellcaster to counter his spell? The PHB says you must have the action readied ... and I'm guessing you can't ready an action until it's your turn in the initiative. But if you do miss initiative in the first round, could you delay your action, and then be able to counter any future spells?
2. It seems that a 1st level Wizard could counter a 9th level Wizard's magic missle spell. Although the 9th level Wizard get 5 missles, his one would counteract them all! Is this right? This has been dealt with before.. but was there any agreement?
Thanks!
