Hi,
For Shadowrun 4, if I have a Counterspell skill of 4, a magic of 5 and a specialization in combat.
Do i get 4 or 9 dices for counterspell (and 6 or 11 combat)?
Thanks!

It depends on what you plan on doing.
-If you use it as defence, you (or any person you protect) add 4 dice (or 6 in combat) to whatever you have to use to counter the spell (willpower, body, ....)
-if you use it to dispell a sustained spell, you have 9 or 11, as that's magic + counterspelling vs spell's force+ caster's magic.
you can find more info in the core book (20th aniversary edition p185).

Just to clarify, it would be 6 dice against combat spells, not when in combat.
