[QUOTE="Distracted DM, post: 9599208, member: 6894926"] I wonder if older counterspell methods would be worth implementing. If your player really wants to counter a mages spell, they have to ready their action to do so and have an appropriate spell with which to counter. In the current rules it wouldn't work mechanically because it's a reaction to both identify a spell, and one to trigger a readied action, but that could be solved. Granted, few people would ever counterspell but...That's how it used to be too 😂 BUT if you're fighting a lich, or archmage, and the player's turn is spent canceling out the big bad's spell with their own... Kind of worth it? I canceled or lessened your 20d6 fireball with my 3rd lvl fireball. 🤔 Or create water. But then things get tricky.. Maybe it works better in a Roll to Cast system like DCC.
