=== Concentration Saving Throw ===
=== 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}}.
When taking damage, the caster can only maintain {{Concentration}} by succeeding a [[Constitution]] {{SavingThrow}} (sometimes referred to as a "Concentration Check"). The [[Difficulty Class]] of this {{SavingThrow|CON}} is half of the damage taken, but no less than 10.
 
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.
