'''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 may only maintain the effect of one {{Concentration}} spell at a time.  
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.


== Losing Concentration ==
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.
There are several ways to lose focus and drop the effects of a {{Concentration}} spell:
* Casting any other spell with the {{Concentration}} tag
* Entering a {{SmIconLink|Rage Icon.png|Rage}}
* Becoming [[Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated]]
* Becoming [[Unconscious]]
* Being knocked [[Prone (Condition)|Prone]]
* Being reduced to 0 hit points ([[Downed (Condition)|Downed]])
* Taking damage and failing the associated Concentration {{SavingThrow}}
* Being hit by an [[Arrow of Arcane Interference]]
* Being [[Banished (Condition)|Banished]]
* Successfully entering the ethereal plane with [[Blink]]


=== Concentration Saving Throw ===
=== Ending concentration ===
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}}.
[[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 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:
{{div col | style = column-width: 18em; list-style-type: none;}}
* Anything in [[SG_Incapacitated]]
* {{SAI|Downed (Condition)|Downed}}
* {{SAI|Banished (Condition)|Banished}}
* {{SAI|Sleeping (Condition)|Sleeping}}
* {{SAI|Incapacitated (Condition)|Incapacitated}}
* {{SAI|Prone (Condition)|Prone}}
* {{SAI|Rage}}
{{div col end}}


To determine [[Difficulty Class]] of this saving throw:
== List of concentration spells ==
* If halved of taken damage is equal to or less than 10, then {{InfoBlob|DC: 10}}
=== Cantrips ===
* If halved of taken damage is more than 10, then {{InfoBlob|DC: Damage taken/2}}
{{div col | style = column-width: 18em; list-style-type: none;}}
* {{SAI|Dancing Lights}}
* {{SAI|Friends}}
* {{SAI|Guidance}}
* {{SAI|Minor Illusion}}
* {{SAI|Resistance (Cantrip)}}
* {{SAI|True Strike}}
{{div col end}}


If this saving throw succeeds, concentration is maintained. If it fails, concentration is lost and the spell's effect ends.
