[QUOTE="chilibean, post: 71355, member: 2220"] Can someone please clairify for me the limitations on counterspelling. If a mage readies an action to counter spell, correctly identifies a spell, and has that same spell ready to cast, then the caster can cast a counterspell to negate it. It also mentions that the target must be within range. Example 1: Two mages, both have wall of force. One is ready to counterspell and correctly id's the spell casting of his opponent. Question 1: Does the counterspelling mage need the range to reach the opposing mage with his spells range, or the location of the wall of force he wishes to negate, or both? Question 2: If the mage comes upon the wall of force later on, can he cast a counterspell to remove it? Example 2: The Slow spell counter effects the haste spell. If cast simultaneously with a readied action, the counterspell simply negates the other spell. This is clear. Question 3: Suppose that the slow and haste spells in question will both have a duration of 10 rounds. If the slow spell is cast 5 rounds after the haste, does it simply counterspell the haste, or does it suppress the haste for 5 rounds and cause the slow effects for 5 more rounds? So is it supression or negation? Example 3: Suppose that a creature is protected by a fire shield spell and a monk wearing a ring of counterspelling (loaded with fire shield) attacks it and hits (assume with the hand wearing the ring, if that makes any difference). Question 4: Will the ring counterspell the fire shield? Question 5: Will the ring counterspell the fire shield if the monk touches the caster with it during the casting (ie. ready a touch attack upon casting a spell)? [/QUOTE]
