[QUOTE="RigaMortus2, post: 3130683, member: 11586"] I think it depends on the intention of the caster. Certainly he wasn't targetted (he can't be). But the wearer of the ring was in the area of the effect. But I mainly see it as the intention of the caster of the spell (in this case fireball). If an enemy cast fireball with him in the area with the intention of trying to harm him, then I would say "Yes, the counter spell triggers". If an ally cast fireball with him in the area but did not intend from him to be harmed by it (such as casting a fireball on a Rogue with Evasion, hoping the Rogue would in fact evade), then I would say "No, the counter spell does not trigger". If an enemy OR ally cast fireball with him in the area without the intention of trying to harm him (maybe they misjudged where he was and he happened to be in the area effect OR they didn't know he was there because he was invisible), then I would say "No, the counter spell does not trigger." If the ring wearer were to go up to the caster of the spell and ask, "Did you purposely try to cast that spell upon me"? and the honest answer is "Yes" then the ring triggers. If the honest answer would be "No", then I don't think it would trigger. JMHO of how I interpret the wording... Now the way I would play it if I was DM, I would let the player decide if he wanted the counter spell to trigger or not. I'd leave it up to them (the players need as much help as they can get anyway). [/QUOTE]
