Bad Guy is out of Reactions and will not be able to do another one till the start of his next turn. In Reaction, The Bad Guy Counters the spell.īad Guy uses his Legendary Action to cast Shield, without requiring someone to attack him because his Legendary Action allows him to cast it anyway, and this uses up one Legendary Action. Player 1 Casts fireball or some other spell. With how the rules on spells only includes being able to cast a cantrip after bonus actioning a spell, Bad Guy would be able to cast Counterspell on another player's turn as a Reaction, per the normal spellcasting rules, and then be able to Shield himself as his Legendary Action at the end of the Player's turn. This brings up a situation of him casting another full level spell though. This would not take up his reaction as he is not using his reaction to Shield, he is using his Legendary action. This means he would be able to benefit from Shield until the start of his next turn. This leaves a strange spot for Shield though but I'll reemphasize my point of Staff of Defense saying you can use your action to cast shield, with how the Legendary Action says you can cast the spell. (I can't think of how this situation would happen) This means he wouldn't be able to cast Counterspell as it requires the target of a creature casting a spell and players will not be casting at the end of their turns, usually. However, it doesn't say you can cast them whenever you want, just as a Legendary Action. You would also be able to have the creature in question use it's Reaction to cast a spell, say Counterspell, and still cast a spell at the end of it's turn as a Legendary Action because casting as a Legendary Action is not a reaction, it is a Legendary Action.Īcererak can cast one of his at will spells as a Legendary Action. A player casts a spell, the spell does it's effect, their turn ends.the creature with Legendary Actions can't counter a spell that's already gone! Counterspell does nothing unless it is targeting a creature that is casting a spell. There is similarity here with the wording of Staff of Defense, it lets you cast shield as an action, in which it lets you cast a spell outside of it's normal casting time of, in Shield's cast, 1 Reaction. A Legendary action is not a reaction therefore it would not affect the reaction economy.Ĭounterspell would not work as a Legendary Action, Shield would work.
