{{Class|Warlock}}s are unique in this regard, their spell slots are all of a uniform level, matching the highest spell slot available of a normal full spellcaster class until spell level 5, which is the highest level spell slot warlocks can have. They also simply gain a spell slot at class level 1,2, and 11.

{{Concentration}} '''Concentration''' is another type of resource a spellcaster has. Certain spells require the caster to continuously put focus into the spell in order to maintain its effects, such spells are called {{Concentration}} '''Concentration''' spells, and this requirement will be clearly labeled with the {{Concentration}} '''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. 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.
When the caster takes damage, they must make a Constitution [[Saving Throws|Saving Throw]] ({{D20}} + [[Constitution#Constitution Modifier Chart|Constitution Modifier]]) to maintain Concentration. The result must match or exceed a [[Difficulty Class|DC]] of 10 or half the number of damage they received, whichever is higher.
* Ways you can lose Concentration while maintaining Concentration Spells:
** Failing a Concentration Check by taking damage.
** Casting another Concentration Spell.
** Being affected by [[Condition]]s such as [[Condition#Downed|Downed]], [[Condition#Sleeping|Sleeping]], [[Rage]], etc.
** Voluntarily ending the concentration effect. (This is done by click the x button on the concentrated spell's icon on top of/next to the caster's portrait)
