Concentration: Difference between revisions

(Added two lists for quick reference: spells that require concentration and those that do not. If this should be formatted differently or moved to a different page, feel free to edit.)
(The previous wording "If a caster casts a spell" implies that the new spell being successfully cast is the trigger for concentration breaking on the previous one. but in my experience of patch 7, build ID 16065077, concentration breaks on the first spell before the next concentration spell is cast, because if breaking concentration causes lethargy, the next concentration spell fails to cast.)

'''Concentration''' is a game mechanic used in [[Spells|spellcasting]]. Spells with the {{Concentration}} tag require the caster to continuously put focus into the spell in order to maintain its effects.
{{quote|Caster needs to focus on maintaining this spell.


A caster may only maintain the effect of one {{Concentration}} spell at a time.  
They can only cast 1 concentration spell at a time, and their concentration might be broken when they take damage.}}
== Overview ==
Most spells with a duration require the caster to ''concentrate'' to maintain the spell's effects for the full duration. These spells have the {{Concentration}} in their description. If concentration on a spell is broken, the spell's effects are ended immediately.


== Losing Concentration ==
A caster can only concentrate on a single spell at a time, which is automatic and immediate – casters automatically begin concentrating on spells that require it.
There are several ways to lose focus and drop the effects of a {{Concentration}} spell:
* Casting any other spell with the {{Concentration}} tag
* Entering a {{SmIconLink|Rage Icon.png|Rage}}
* Becoming [[Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated]]
* Becoming [[Unconscious]]
* Being knocked [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]]
* Being reduced to 0 hit points ([[Downed (Condition)|Downed]])
* Taking damage and failing the associated Concentration {{SavingThrow}}
* Being hit by an [[Arrow of Arcane Interference]]
* Being [[Banished (Condition)|Banished]]
* Successfully entering the ethereal plane with [[Blink]]
 
=== Concentration Saving Throw ===
Taking damage while concentrating on a spell forces you to make a Concentration Saving Throw (sometimes referred to as a 'Concentration Check'), a special type of [[Constitution]] {{SavingThrow}}.
 
To determine [[Difficulty Class]] of this saving throw:
* If halved of taken damage is equal to or less than 10, then {{InfoBlob|DC: 10}}
* If halved of taken damage is more than 10, then {{InfoBlob|DC: Damage taken/2}}
 
If this saving throw succeeds, concentration is maintained. If it fails, concentration is lost and the spell's effect ends.
 
== Concentration Spells ==
These [[Spell]]s '''require''' {{Concentration}} to cast and maintain.

=== Ending concentration ===
[[File:Concentration_Example.webp|thumb|300px|right|Concentration icon in the hotbar. Clicking "X" will end concentration.]]
Uninterrupted, concentration lasts for the spell's full duration.{{note|Since taking a long rests will end most spells, it also effectively breaks concentration.}} Otherwise, concentration can be broken under the following circumstances:
; Manually : Concentration can be manually interrupted at any time via the ''x'' on the concentrated spell's icon, next to the caster's main portrait.
; Casting another concentration spell: If a caster tries to cast a spell that requires concentration while already concentrating on a spell, concentration on the first spell is broken, and its effects ended. The new spell is successfully cast only ''after'' concentration breaks on the previous spell; for example, if the first spell was [[Haste]] and its caster was its target, then an attempt to cast another concentration spell first breaks concentration on haste, giving the caster the [[Lethargic (Condition)|Lethargic]] condition, which prevents the spell from being cast.
; Taking damage : When a caster is concentrating on a spell and takes damage, they attempt a Constitution [[Saving throws|save]] against a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] equal to half the damage taken, or 10, whichever is higher. If the save fails, concentration ends.{{note|Since the save to maintain concentration is a [[Constitution]] saving throw, it benefits from [[proficiency]] with and [[advantage]] on Constitution saves.}} Note also that a roll of 1 on a concentration saving throw is a critical failure and always breaks concentration, regardless of whether your bonus would have exceeded the [[Difficulty Class|DC]].{{note|[[Media:Concentration_Critical_Fail.jpg|Screenshot]] of a critically failed concentration saving throw.}}
; Leaving the party : Companions lose concentration when dismissed from the party.
; Conditions : Some conditions also break concentration, without allowing a save:

Concentration is a game mechanic used in spellcasting. Spells with the Concentration Concentration tag require the caster to continuously put focus into the spell in order to maintain its effects.

Caster needs to focus on maintaining this spell. They can only cast 1 concentration spell at a time, and their concentration might be broken when they take damage.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Most spells with a duration require the caster to concentrate to maintain the spell's effects for the full duration. These spells have the Concentration Concentration in their description. If concentration on a spell is broken, the spell's effects are ended immediately.

A caster can only concentrate on a single spell at a time, which is automatic and immediate – casters automatically begin concentrating on spells that require it.

Ending concentration[edit | edit source]

Concentration icon in the hotbar. Clicking "X" will end concentration.

Uninterrupted, concentration lasts for the spell's full duration.[note 1] Otherwise, concentration can be broken under the following circumstances:

Manually
Concentration can be manually interrupted at any time via the x on the concentrated spell's icon, next to the caster's main portrait.
Casting another concentration spell
If a caster tries to cast a spell that requires concentration while already concentrating on a spell, concentration on the first spell is broken, and its effects ended. The new spell is successfully cast only after concentration breaks on the previous spell; for example, if the first spell was Haste and its caster was its target, then an attempt to cast another concentration spell first breaks concentration on haste, giving the caster the Lethargic condition, which prevents the spell from being cast.
Taking damage
When a caster is concentrating on a spell and takes damage, they attempt a Constitution save against a DC equal to half the damage taken, or 10, whichever is higher. If the save fails, concentration ends.[note 2] Note also that a roll of 1 on a concentration saving throw is a critical failure and always breaks concentration, regardless of whether your bonus would have exceeded the DC.[note 3]
Leaving the party
Companions lose concentration when dismissed from the party.
Conditions
Some conditions also break concentration, without allowing a save:

Footnotes[edit | edit source]

  1. Since taking a long rests will end most spells, it also effectively breaks concentration.
  2. Since the save to maintain concentration is a Constitution saving throw, it benefits from proficiency with and advantage on Constitution saves.
  3. Screenshot of a critically failed concentration saving throw.
