Deconstruct Element- Elemental Counterspell?


Kineticist Class


Hello. Just piping in to see if my reading of this feat is correct...

Say I'm a Pyrokineticist, and someone targets me with a Fireball. I'm to make a counteract check, and then if I pass, I gather some Fire.

But what happens to the spell?

Does "counteracting the effect" mean I stop their entire spell(in this scenario)? Or do I just get to grab a small piece of it?

I feel this difference wildly changes the power of this ability...

Successfully counteracting an effect ends it. No fireball.

Triggering when you're targeted kinda sucks though. This is a really unfortunately niche ability.


Ah, thank you very much.

I agree it's incredibly niche and situational, but it's SO very flavorful and cool. I think a few tweaks would quickly make it a much more viable pick.

Maybe the ability to instantly follow-up with an impulse?

It definitely feels like a "My turn now!" type of feat.
