[QUOTE="King Brad, post: 8413487, member: 6923561"] I've never understood the hate for counterspell. It's just a fun 'gotcha' moment between the players which adds more complexity to an otherwise straightforward game. Same with LRs. I think the people who get bent out of shape about them just don't like being told 'no' and/or have never done anything competitive like a sport before. I liken it to american football. The quarterback doesn't throw a fit when he gets taken down before he can pass, he dusts himself off and goes. "okay, lets try again.' As for the "it ruins my encounters by shutting down my threats." Good. That's what the spell, and the players, are supposed to be doing. If you don't like that, make more dynamic encounters where not everything hinges on a single enemy casting a single spell. It isn't that hard. I do it every week. I understand though that I may be on the out with opinion, as I also think 'fun' is the worst word in game design. [/QUOTE]
