[QUOTE="Gerion of Mercadia, post: 3488613, member: 50527"] I think you missed the question I was responding to. Primary Wizard is attemting Spell. Opponent is using readied action to counterspell. (acting on MY turn by readied action) Can I declare a Free Action Quickened Dispel Magic - targeting His Counterspell? The line reading: [b]You may also perform one or more free actions along with any other action[/b] Already had that covered. 1. Primary wizard has declared casting a spell. 2. This set off Opposing wizard's "readied action" - Which is the ONLY action He can take, as It isn't His turn, he is interrupting Mine. 3. Can the Apprentice "interrupt" the Opposing Wizard? [i]Yes, If he also has a readied action[/i] 4. Can the Primary wizard use a Quickened Dispel Magic? [i]debatable[/i] Points For 64k q: - it's His turn (or moment in initiative), which is not the same as his "action" - He has to declare a quickened spell, because He has (presumably) already used His standard action spell. - He has't actually BEGUN his own standard action thanks to the rules of readied actions... - Dispel Magic is explicitly listed as an "exception" and not a "true counterspell" under it's own rules.
