[QUOTE="DND_Reborn, post: 8008444, member: 6987520"] No, because Distant spell on a touch spell has no reaction trigger condition. It is the reaction trigger that causes the issue for this combo. You [I]can[/I] still use Distant spell on Counterspell, increasing the Range to 120 ft., but the [I]trigger[/I] for the reaction is separate and requires you be within 60 ft. of the other caster. This makes using Distant spell [I]nearly[/I] useless with Counterspell, but there are fringe cases where it would still be useful to do. An example would be: A begins casting a spell. B is within 60 feet, satisfying the reaction trigger and uses Distant Counterspell against A. A had a Contingency for Misty Step that if an enemy caster tries to Counterspell him, he moves 30 feet away. His intent is that this will foil the Counterspell. B smiles because he knows his range is 120 ft thanks to the Distant metamagic, and since A is only 90 ft. away, his spells is still countered. And besides, Sorcerers still have their edge with Subtle spell. :) [/QUOTE]
