[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7272072, member: 6895991"] IT still is clunky, i would go with the free arcana check not using up your reaction. I think you cannot use your reaction for this sort of stuff anyway. Reactions are time segments listed for very specific actions like casting shield or opportunity attack or counterspell. I mean if you rule this otherwise and say it is Party caster vs mob caster: Mob: i cast Partycaster: I counterspell Mob: ahm PC did cast something, was that a counterspell? <---------- SEE this is why it is absolute crap. You cannot even say your spell has been counterspelled w/o arcana check if you use this absurd rule! One good thing about it interpreted like i just did it would prevent counterspell battles. Another: Some spells which are not initially harmful, like a charm state that the victim is aware of the spell and what it does, so how are these resolved now if the victim wants to react with a counterspell?
