Message: <blockquote data-quote="isoChron" data-source="post: 2463621" data-attributes="member: 5927">Why check it beforehand ???Any spell you tell the GM to be countered by SI is ok for me.If the spell is actually cast against the SI-person you simply check two things: Name of the spell correlates with the spell chosen and level of the spell (must be 4th or lower). If you wish you can say Meteor Swarm. Now there are very few meteor swarms at level 4 or lower so it isn't any issue. But if due to some weird (beyond core rules) circumstances a wizard cast a 4th level meteor swarm at you, you are safe (I hope meteor swarm allows SR <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> didn't check it.).I understand your point of view in that way that you are unable to name meteorswarm at the time of casting SI. I don't see this because you check the spell level at the moment it is cast at the protected creature. So you don't have to be omniscient about which spell is in what class/PrC at which level. You just ask the caster what level the spell is and how it is named. Then you check if it is 4th level or lower and the name is one of the chosen ones and if it allows SR or not. It's just clearer that way. The spells you chose are not listed under target or something. So I don't think the SI fails if you name a spell that is to high leveled or doesn't exist or doesn't allow SR.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
