It allows the character to cast one spell and counter another and then get boned next round.Alternately, you could just ready an action to cast an offensive spell when your opponent casts a spell. Your opponent will then have to make a concentration check with a DC of 10 + damage + spell level or lose their spell. Since the DC for being hit by a Meteor Swarm is about 80 something - and 20s don't automatically succeed - the spell is essentially countered.So Reactive Counterspell lets you do the thing that you would be able to do anyway - namely cast an offensive spell and suppress an enemy spellcaster in the same round. However, instead of requiring a modestly good grasp of timing, tactics, and the battlefield situation - it requires a feat and your ability to cast magic next round.It's useful for when you totally forgot about an enemy spellcaster - but it's pathetic compared to what you could be doing if you had simply paid attention to your suroundings in the first place instead.-Frank</blockquote>
