Message: <blockquote data-quote="Charlaquin" data-source="post: 8670121" data-attributes="member: 6779196">I don’t disagree that the sentence is carefully constructed, but it looks to me like it’s constructed to avoid describing the effect as magical or reproducing the effect of the counterspell spell, so as to insure it remains immune to counterspell and Antimagic Field by the Sage Advice guidelines. And I definitely don’t find the idea that the intent is for Vecna to be able to meragame, as if he has Deadpool-like awareness of being a character in an RPG compelling. I think if the intent is for him to be able to counter a spell with no components, it must also be intended for him to know it’s being cast, perhaps via the same ability that allows him to know what spell is being cast by looking at the caster. Still think that information belonged in the stat block or at least the dossier though.</blockquote>
