[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 8670368, member: 6779196"] I appreciate the attempt to turn to the text to find clarity, that is what I’m looking for here. The relevant text of the adventure has been quoted a couple of times now, and I have found it to add valuable context, but not to be sufficient to establish that Vecna knows when a spell is being cast even if it has no components. However, it did move me from a position of “Vecna definitely can’t use Dread Counterspell on a spell with no components because he would have no way of knowing it’s being cast” to “it may be RAI for Vecna to be able to recognize that a spell is being cast even if it has no components, but that is not clear from RAW alone.” If anyone can cite anything [I]else[/I] from the text of the stat block, the adventure, the dossier, or any developer comments, that would help actually move the conversation forward. Otherwise we’re just spinning our wheels. [/QUOTE]
