    Default Two weird questions

    1) What happens to a DR/magic in an antimagic area?

    2) Can you counterspell Dispel magic?

    1) depends on whether it's a Su or an Ex ability, if it's Su it stops working if it's an Ex you just gained a practical dr/- ability(as long as your in AMF so it's not really IMBA).



    2) with another dispel magic you can counter dispel magic in most cases.

    In that case, I have another simple question. Does the Q&A by RAW need to be bolded or something? It's not exactly hidden now, but...

    I play primarily 3.5 D&D. Most of my advice will be based off of this. If my advice doesn't apply, specify a version in your post.

    I don't think it would help, if people miss it ATM they will probably miss it no matter what.

    If you use Greater Dispel Magic to counter a Dispel Magic, do you need to make a caster level check?

    Yes. However similar the spells may be they are not actually the same spell, so the normal automatic counterspell clause does not apply.
    Like 4X (aka Civilization-like) gaming? Know programming? Interested in game development? Take a look.

    Yes, neither spell say that they automatically counter spells of lower level when used as counterspells.
    Knowledge, logic, reason, and common sense serve better than a dozen rule books.

    DR/magic or DR/alignment is always a (su) ability, so it doesn't work in an antimagic field. DR based on weapon type or damage type is usually (ex), so it does still work, but cold iron also still works in antimagic, so you can still bypass it.
