(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 special [[Resource]] used by certain [[Spell]]s. A spell with the Concentration tag requires the caster to continuously put focus into the spell in order to maintain its effects. Such spells are called ''Concentration spells'', and this requirement will be clearly labeled with the '''{{Concentration}}''' tag in the spell's description. The caster may still do other actions while concentrating, but are at risk of losing said concentration under certain circumstances. If the caster loses Concentration, the spell ends prematurely.  
'''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 can only concentrate on '''one''' spell at a time - said spell will be shown on top of/next to the caster's portrait and in the list of conditions the spellcaster has.
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.


== Concentration Saving Throw ==
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.
Every time a concentrating caster takes damage they do a '''Concentration''' {{Ability|Constitution}} {{SavingThrow}} (sometimes referred to as a "Concentration Check"). The DC of this {{SavingThrow|CON}} is either 10 or half the number of damage taken, whichever is higher.
[[File:Concentration_Example.webp|thumb|Concentration icon in the hotbar. Click "X" to stop concentrating any time]]
== Losing Concentration ==
There are several ways to lose focus and drop the effects of a {{Concentration}} spell:
* Taking damage and failing the associated [[#Concentration Saving Throw|Concentration Saving Throw]]
* Casting any other spell with the {{Concentration}} tag
* Entering a {{SAI|Rage}}
* Being reduced to 0 hit points ({{SAI|Downed (Condition)|Downed}})
* Being {{SAI|Banished (Condition)|Banished}}
* Being affected by [[Conditions]] that make the caster lose control such as [[Unconscious (Condition Type)|Unconsious]], {{SAI|Sleeping (Condition)|Sleeping}}, {{SAI|Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated}}, {{SAI|Prone (Condition)|Prone}}, etc. If this happens Concentration is dropped without recourse.
* Being hit by an {{RarityItem|Arrow of Arcane Interference}}
* Successfully entering the ethereal plane with {{SAI|Blink}}
* The caster can also voluntarily end the Concentration effect. Either by casting another Concentration Spell, or by manually ending Concentration.
** Unlike most actions, the manual ending of concentration can be done at anytime, even amidst someone else's turn. For players this is done via the x button on the concentrated spell's icon next to the caster's main portrait.
 
==Advantage on Concentration Saves==
Due to the impact of many '''{{Concentration}}''' spells, it is very beneficial for a spellcaster to acquire an {{Advantage}} or bonuses for their Concentration Constitution Saving Throws, but this is rather difficult to come by:
 
* The [[War Caster|War caster]] [[Feats|Feat]] grants {{Advantage}} on Concentration Saving Throws.
* The [[Resilient|Resilient (Constitution)]] [[Feats|Feat]] Grants a +1 to a character's Constitution score as well as granting [[Proficiency]] in all Constitution Saving Throws.
* '''Transmuter's Stone (Constitution)''', a [[Transmutation School]] [[Wizard]] subclass feature, grants the holder of said stone [[Proficiency]] in all Constitution Saving Throws.
* '''Arcane Ward''', an [[Abjuration School]] [[Wizard]] subclass feature, reduces all incoming damage. When the damage is reduced to 0, no Concentration Saving Throws take place.
* [[Bless]] and [[Resistance]] each grant a 1d4 bonus to all Saving Throws. Both are concentration spells themselves, so the casters of these spells are themselves at risk of dropping these spells when taking damage.
* [[Gaseous Form]] grants {{Advantage}} on all Constitution saving throws but also sets the target's Constitution score to 10, and is itself again a concentration spell.
* [[Warding Bond]] grants its target a +1 bonus to all Saving Throws, and persists until long rest and does not require concentration. However it requires the caster of warding bond to take all damage their target does.
* [[Constitution#Advantage_on_Saving_Throws|Several items]] such as {{RarityItem|Spidersilk Armour}} grant {{Advantage}} on Constitution saving throws.
 
== 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.
