I have always played Counterspelling as working just on characters, not on objects. The text in SR4A (p. 185) supports this usage.
But the description of the Shattershield spell in SM (p. 165) says the mana barrier resists with Force "+ Counterspelling (if anyone happens to be protecting it)." So in this one case in RAW, Counterspelling can be used on something other than a character. Is this a generalizable usage? Protecting vehicles, drones, weapons, etc.? Warform hamsters? (Don't laugh. A warform hamster in the right situation could be as lethal as cutter nanites.) |
