correct. And you can only do so up to the point where you start to resolve the effects of successfully casting the spell. IE if you're already rolling an attack from EB, you can't counterspell. If you're making creatures roll saves against Fireball, you can't counterspell. I showed examples...

more wall of texts that say absolutely nothing relevant. Why not go ask questions to the lead dev instead of grandstanding on the forum about how you know better than the people who designed the edition?

Agreed here for the most part. I wouldn't let someone use dispel magic against an instantaneous spell, even against fireballs "lighting stuff on fire" portion. But that's just me. And I say this because plenty of people I've seen post about these interactions would say the fire is magical...

Thank you! Glad to see others posting. And to answer your earlier question: Yes, this is still going even though we have multiple answers from a lead dev. This is what it was like on the wizard forums as well. You can give these people all the evidence in the world, they won't change their...

Yep exactly. I think the fact that Arial Black is happy hiding behind others who speak for him (badly I should point out since what they say doesn't even make sense, see up-thread) instead of doing the responsible thing and going to seek proof of his claim is telling enough. He's scared to...

@Arial Black Come on then, this is the question I would like you to ask and the reasons why it's a good question. You can get it posted in only a few moments... Go ahead, I'll wait.

Thanks for posting this next batch. Love seeing the surprise and polymorph answers!

Amazing!~ Requesting sticky!

This is what I was thinking of replying with more or less lol.

lol you should find a way to grant bonuses to stealth checks for allies.

'preciate the backup on that one.

But I'm not bringing up your past mistakes as an argument for why you're not convincing now am I? That's you, you just decided to dig up my post history to bring up previous stuff irrelevant to this current discussion in an effort to dismiss what I'm currently saying about THIS subject. You're...

Yep, ok. Gl hf buddy!

AAh I see, you want to turn this into a pissing contest because you're going to dredge up previous mistakes I made, and apologized for, in the past? Well, thanks for participating but I think I'll stop responding to you from this point on since you want to make this personal. Gl hf.

agreed 100%

Prior editions are irrelevant to this discussion.

Ok... and why does it matter if it doesn't need the language if we get a no answer? Nothing changes as a result, this fact isn't even important at that point. I don't understand why you think this is important or a reason why the question isn't valid? Potential future spells not yet...

Before, because you follow the order of events the spell describes... Maybe you should read the Spellcasting section of the PHB to get better acquainted with the subject you want to discuss? This is how you resolve the spell: 1. Declare you're casting Chain Lightning 2. Spend the action...
