D&D 5E Counterspell - CLERIC

[maritimo80]

Honestly, I found very curious the Wizard have the counterspell magic and the Cleric not have.


This does not of a great disadvantage to the Cleric?
Would not correct the cleric have counterspell?

Clerics get silence, which wizards don't. That's their equivalent. It's harder to bring into play than counterspell, but it's also more economical; if you can get a caster stuck within a silence area, you just have to maintain concentration instead of matching them spell for spell. And it's a level lower, of course. (Although, interestingly, counterspell itself has no verbal component, so you can still do it within a silence effect.)

The only full caster class that doesn't have either silence or counterspell is the druid.
