Makes sense if you look at it that way. Except that as far as I understand the rules in the PHB, the readied action take place after whatever action triggered it, while other reactions (usually) interrupt the action. In which case it would be difficult to cast the spell at the same time as you...

Sorry, but it makes no sense for counterspell to work. A reaction interrupts the other action - so in order for someone to be counterspelled, he must already be casting a spell, right? So tell me, how is he going to counter the counterspell? He is already casting one... Can't really cast two...

Sorry. But I think you got it wrong. Spellcasting ability = Int. To set DC of spells you add your prof bonus to said spellcasting ability modifier. The same with regards to your spell attack modifier. You add your prof bonus to your spellcasting ability modifier. So when dispel magic and...

Dispel Magic is an ability check according to my PHB, am I missing something?

RAW says that if you cast a spell as a bonus action, you can only also cast a cantrip. Counterspell is a reaction, not a bonus action.

Because? No seriously, according to the RAW, there is AFAIK nothing to stop you from doing it. I said no, because I do not think that is the intention, but that's just for my table. I also rather not turn every battle including two casters into a counterspell-fest.

1) A wizard's counterspell check is d20+int vs DC 2) No

Sorry. Got cut off. IME, the monk is something of a glass-canon that survives by virtue of his ability to move out of harms way. I am sure you can build an adequate "tank" given the right stats, feats and items. But a fighter or barbarian would be much better. While the group is about to ding...

Yes.

Just what I was looking for. Thanks for doing this.

IME, I have zero trouble challenging my party of level 14 characters by following the encounter guidelines, and they have stats and items well above the norm. Even medium encounters can once in a while, depending on how the dice fall and which tactics the monsters use, cause some difficulties...

Some are limited to the arcane spellcasting classes, some to the divine etc, but most can be used by anyone afaict.

IME (players are level 12, almost 13) this is how it is. The solo/legendary monsters work (very) well, and can hold their own against a party. If they are truly alone, you do need a monster of a CR that is above that of the characters, but you do not need to go outside the xp/encounter...

I thought you didn't play 5e?

Pathfinder only came about because WotC left 3.5 behind. If they stick with 5e and develop and evolve it instead, I doubt another Pathfinder could ever arise.

Amateur hour.

Indeed. That's odd.

You are missing the point of the pdf 😉

Sounds interesting. Would you mind sharing those?

Not since 2e 😔
