[QUOTE="Scorpio616, post: 6682494, member: 6750953"] That is not the way the limitation on multiple spells works. The only limitation is when a spell with a bonus action casting time is involved. Nor does 5e have a prohibition on using Reactions during one's own turn. It's more that half a breath, but yes it is a brief moment of time, not something to be pondered over. No more time than I give to a Player once i say "the foe moves away from you, drawing an OA". I decided the onus is on the player to remember if they have a counterspell prepped and to decide if they want to use it. I also don't want other players to try to browbeat someone for half a minute into using one of their precious spells when the player had already decided against it. "The robed goblin begins to incant and perform gestures for a 3rd level spell," Since they person with the counterspell knew fireball, I added "possibly fireball". I'll then look at the players with counterspell for a brief time before describing the spell's effect. [/QUOTE]
