Improved Counterspell (Mythic) - Literally does nothing?!


Rules Questions


I checked that this hasn't already been addressed and I can't find anything so I'm posting it here.

this feat reads as follows

Improved Counterspell (Mythic)

Your innate understanding of magical mechanics allows you to unravel spells with pure magical energy.

Prerequisite(s): Improved Counterspell.

Benefit: When counterspelling, you can use a spell of the same school that is the same or higher spell level as the target spell.

ok, cool. However, the feat that is listed as this feat's prerequisite literally does the same thing.

Improved Counterspell

You are skilled at countering the spells of others using similar spells.

Benefit: When counterspelling, you may use a spell of the same school that is one or more spell levels higher than the target spell.

Normal: Without this feat, you may counter a spell only with the same spell or with a spell specifically designated as countering the target spell.

Am I missing something?

taking this feat literally grants zero benefit to the character taking is since they can already do what this feat lets them do because it's a pre-requisite......


No look at the text you posted Improved counterspell requires it to be one or more spell levels higher. Mythic allows it to be the same level.

ah i see, seems incredibly weak for a mythic feat. but I will concede the point.


Hey, they can't all be Mythic Vital Strike.
