I'd burn the slot to counter ... the DM would look a bit more peeved/frustrated.  Lather, rinse, repeat.Heh....But, no ... never, not ONE single time, since then.  With Improved Counterspell, and a Haste effect going, I might've considered it.  Still ... I usually found it more profitable to ready a ranged attack, for "when an enemy begins spellcasitng" ... if I wasn't trying to pound him anyway (if you're only applying some small extra damage, sometimes delaying it until the enemy is mid-spellcasting can enhance the effects of your minor, non-Fighter-type contribution ...).</blockquote>
