This grew out of a conversation about the one-man buffs:
"Well, we're in Ravenloft right now, and this necromancer loves death touching us. Now we have 1-2 Death Wards available which would completely nullify that attack, but we can only cast them on one person apiece. The question is, which person?"
My solution is to let you counterspell by casting a buff on the target. Example: You ready an action to counterspell the cleric. The cleric casts Touch of Death. You don't have Touch of Death or Dispel Magic, but you do have Death Ward. You cast Death Ward on the cleric's target, getting off the buff before he can get off the touch. Touch of Death nullified.
A second solution would be an option to immediate cast certain spells, at a hefty penalty to duration:
If a spell has a casting time of a standard action or less, and a duration of 1 round/level or longer, you can cast it as an immediate action. If you cast a spell this way, its duration drops to 1 round.
