[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6521308, member: 13009"] There is no difference between a third party casting counterspell as a reaction to a counterspell being cast, and the original caster using his reaction. It is just like a card game, you can use a reaction as a response to another reaction. To expand on the other example with shield and attacks of opportunity. Wizard decides to leave a threatened area and provokes an attack of opportunity (a reaction) in response in the middle of his movement he uses his reaction to cast shield, an enemy spell caster can then cast counterspell as their reaction. A reaction, responding to another's reaction, and a third reaction then being used. The key rules bits Counterspell - Casting Time: I reaction, which you take when you see a creature within 60 feet of you casting a spell. Under Casting Time REACTIONS Some spells can be cast as reactions. These spells take a fraction of a second to bring about and are cast in response to some event. If a spell can be cast as a reaction, the spell description tells you exactly when you can do so. And Reactions in general REACTIONS Certain special abilities, spells, and situations allow you to take a special action called a reaction. A reaction is an instant response to a trigger of some kind, which can occur on your turn or on someone else's. When you take a reaction, you can't take another one until the start of your next turn. If the reaction interrupts another creature's turn, that creature can continue its turn right after the reaction. The trigger for counterspell is seeing another creature casting a spell, counterspell is a spell, you can take reactions on your turn. All of that adds up to yes a Wizard casting a spell, is counterspelled by a sorcerer can in turn use his own reaction to counterspell the counterspell. In your games you may rule differently, but by the rules of the game it is perfectly acceptable. [/QUOTE]
