The wording of counterspell seems to target the caster not the spell "You attempt to interrupt a creature in the process of casting a spell..."
Jeremy Crawford has confirmed this.
As such, Rakshasas would be immune to counterspelling (unless the counterspell was cast at 7th level+)
This seems to make the monster (which has some decent spell casting ability) a bit more nasty.
Is this widely accepted? counterpoints?
Just a thought.
PS. As I can't seem to apply any kind of tags in the mobile app - this is referring to 5e.
