The Rogue/Avenger version of this feat is as follows:
Silence the Profane
Archetype
Prerequisites Avenger Dedication
Trigger A creature you can observe within your reach, or within your weapon's first range increment if you are wielding a ranged weapon, casts a divine spell.
Requirements You are wielding your deity's favored weapon
Your training included instruction on how to prevent enemy priests from using their magic against you, a technique you have now mastered. Make a Strike with the required weapon against the opponent; if the Strike is successful, the triggering spell is disrupted and the target is off-guard for 1 round.
However, the Ranger/Vindicator equivalent goes like this:
Disrupt Opposed Magic
Archetype
Prerequisites Vindicator Dedication
Trigger A creature you can observe within your reach, or within your weapon's first range increment if you are wielding a ranged weapon, Casts a Spell.
Requirements You are wielding your deity's favored weapon.
Your training included instruction on how to prevent enemy spellcasters from using their prayers against you. Make a Strike with the required weapon against the opponent; if the Strike is successful, the triggering spell is disrupted.
I can't help but feel that there's an oversight here, Disrupt Opposed Magic as it stands is probably one of if not the strongest Ranger feats in the game now, and basically acts as a much stronger version of Fighter's Disruptive Stance. It does limit you to your deity weapon, but Erastil and Ranger are a fairly natural fit and he gives them a longbow.
The flavour text of both feats indicates this is meant to work exclusively against divine spells, but the Ranger/Vindicator feat lacks the Divine Spell part of the trigger. Is this intentional or an oversight?
