| '''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.
| |
|
| |
|
| They can only cast 1 concentration spell at a time, and their concentration might be broken when they take damage.}}
| | A caster may only maintain the effect of one {{Concentration}} spell at a time. |
| == 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| 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.
| | == Losing Concentration == |
| | There are several ways to lose focus and drop the effects of a {{Concentration}} spell: |
| | * Casting any other spell with the {{Concentration}} tag |
| | * Becoming [[Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated]] |
| | * Being knocked [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]] |
| | * Being reduced to 0 hit points ([[Downed (Condition)|Downed]]) |
| | * Taking damage and failing the associated [[#Concentration Saving Throw|Concentration Saving Throw]] |
|

|
| === Ending concentration === | | === Concentration Saving Throw === |
| [[File:Concentration_Example.webp|thumb|300px|right|Concentration icon in the hotbar. Clicking "X" will end concentration.]]
| | Taking damage while concentrating on a spell forces a Concentration Saving Throw, a special type of [[Constitution]] [[Saving Throw]]. |
| 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 casts a spell that requires concentration while already concentrating on a spell, concentration on the first spell is broken, and its effects ended.
| |
| ; 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.}}
| |
| ; Conditions : Some conditions also break concentration, without allowing a save:
