hi every one. can u help me with mage slayer .does this counter the no oot misty step? if your trained to react to a spell why not punish them for casting anything even as quick as misty is
If I'm understanding correctly what you're asking, I believe the answer is yes: if you have the old (2014) version of Mage Slayer, you can use your Reaction to make a melee weapon attack against someone who casts Misty Step near you. This is not technically an opportunity attack, and the 2024 version of Mage Slayer no longer has this benefit at all.
Per 2014, Misty Step concludes before the Reaction attack would have a chance to go off, as Misty Step must be cast (and the triggering action be concluded) in order for the reaction to occur. The DMG and Sage Advice clarifies this as well:
"If a reaction has no timing specified, or the timing is unclear, the reaction occurs after its trigger finishes, as in the Ready action."
2024 Mage Slayer got a full rework, removing the bit about 'Taking Reaction Attacks when you see a spell being cast' so you don't need to worry about edge cases like that
