{{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.


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.
== 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.


== Losing Concentration ==
=== Ending concentration ===
[[File:Concentration_Example.webp|thumb|Concentration icon in the hotbar. Click "X" to stop concentrating any time]]
[[File:Concentration_Example.webp|thumb|300px|right|Concentration icon in the hotbar. Clicking "X" will end concentration.]]
There are several ways to lose focus and drop the effects of a {{Concentration}} spell:
Although concentration normally lasts for a spell's full duration, or until another concentration spell is cast, there are multiple ways for concentration to break:
* Taking damage and failing the associated [[#Concentration Saving Throw|Concentration Saving Throw]]
; 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 any other spell with the {{Concentration}} tag
; Casting another spell : Casting a second spell with the {{Concentration}} tag will break concentration.
* Entering a {{SAI|Rage}}
; Long rests : Taking a [[Long rest|long rest]] ends concentration.
* Being reduced to 0 hit points ({{SAI|Downed (Condition)|Downed}})
; 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.}}
* Being {{SAI|Banished (Condition)|Banished}}
; Conditions : Some conditions also break concentration, without allowing a save:
* 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.
{{div col | style = column-width: 18em; list-style-type: none;}}
* Being hit by an {{RarityItem|Arrow of Arcane Interference}}
* {{SAI|Downed (Condition)|Downed}}
* Successfully entering the ethereal plane with {{SAI|Blink}}
* {{SAI|Banished (Condition)|Banished}}
* The caster can also voluntarily end the Concentration effect, either by casting another Concentration Spell, or by manually ending Concentration.
* {{SAI|Sleeping (Condition)|Sleeping}}
** 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 (see picture above).
* {{SAI|Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated}}
 
* {{SAI|Prone (Condition)|Prone}}
==Advantage on Concentration Saves==
* {{SAI|Rage}}
 
{{div col end}}
 
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.
* Several other items such as [[Corellon's Grace]] or a [[Ring of Protection]] give flat bonuses to Saving throws under certain conditions.

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.

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 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

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

Although concentration normally lasts for a spell's full duration, or until another concentration spell is cast, there are multiple ways for concentration to break:

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 spell
Casting a second spell with the Concentration Concentration tag will break concentration.
Long rests
Taking a long rest ends concentration.
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 1]
Conditions
Some conditions also break concentration, without allowing a save:
