This mod tweaks Counterspell to be more in line with the 5e rule that you must be able to see a creature casting a spell to be able to counterspell it. In particular, Counterspell will now no longer work if:
I believe this adds more counterplay against creatures with counterspell. Ideally, the mod would check for line-of-sight so you can't counterspell through walls, but I haven't figured out how to do that.
Installation:
Install via the usual methods. If you install mods manually like I do, add the .pak file to your Mods folder and add these lines to your modsettings.lsx after the GustavDev entry:
Compatibility:
This mod should be compatible with other mods that modify Counterspell and Subtle Spell, as long as it's loaded after any mods that redefine the Counterspell and Subtle Spell objects.
- Target caster is invisible or hidden
- Counterspeller is blinded
- Target spell is stealthy (e.g. Minor Illusion, Darkness). Update v1.1: This also applies to spells cast using Subtle Spell metamagic. I could not get this to work by checking the same flag that innately-stealthy spells use, so instead Subtle Spell now applies a status on the target caster that Counterspell checks for. This should work since all spells are eligible when Subtle Spell is active, but please report any issues that you see.
