How to Counterspell, the Bruce Campbell way

Alternate Class Feature / Class Exchange for Wizards specialized in Abjuration

Abjurant Counterspell
You can counterspell another spell with any prepared arcane Abjuration spell of equal or higher level, regardless of the school of spell being countered. You still need to make a Spellcraft check to identify the spell you wish to counter. To develop this feature, you must use your 1st level Feat choice to learn the Improved Counterspell feat, and you do not gain the Arcane Bond class feature, or the Scribe Scroll bonus feat (you can purchase the Scribe Scroll feat normally, although a non-Human will have to wait until 3rd level before being able to do so).

Feats;

Absorptive Counterspell
Prerequisites: Improved Counterspell
Benefits: When you successfully counter another spell, you have a 50% chance of drawing in sufficient energies to replenish the spell (or slot) you used to counter the spell. This percentage cannot be enhanced by any means. If you are using a higher level spell to counter a lower-level spell, the chance of replenishment is reduced by 10% per level of difference.

Example: If you use dispel magic to counterspell a casting of glitterdust, you only have a 40% chance of retaining your dispel magic spell (or slot) if successful.

Reflective Counterspell
Prerequisites: Improved Counterspell, Absorptive Counterspell, must be a Wizard specialized in Abjuration
Benefits: If you successfully counter a spell, you can choose *not* to absorb the energies to replenish your own expended spell slot, and to instead attempt to turn the spell back as if you had cast it yourself. If the spell has a single target, it must be the caster, but you can turn an area spell back as you see fit, so long as the caster is within the area affected. There is a 50% chance of this being successful, with a bonus of 10% for every level by which the spell you used to counter the incoming spell overpowered it.

Example: An Abjurer uses dispel magic to counter an enemy Sorcerers scorching ray. He gets a 60% chance of reflecting the spell (the entire spell, he cannot divide up the rays among separate targets) back upon the Sorcerer. If he instead counterspelled a fireball, he would be able to place it as he wished, so long as the Sorcerer were within it's area of effect.

Countermagic
Prerequisites: Improved Counterspell, must be a Wizard specialized in Abjuration
Benefits: You can counterspell a spell-like ability. The Spellcraft DC to identify a spell-like ability that duplicates a pre-existing spell is +5. For a spell-like ability that does not have a spell equivalent, such as a White Dragons Freezing Fog ability, the difficulty to identify it is +10, and you cannot counter it unless you have an ability such as Abjurant Counterspell or a spell such as dispel magic or greater dispel magic (of the appropriate level!) prepared that specifically can be used to counter any spell.
