Concentration spells
135 of the 341 SRD spells need concentration: they last only as long as you keep focus, and you can concentrate on one at a time.
The concentration rules in brief
- You can concentrate on one spell at a time. Casting another concentration spell ends the first.
- When you take damage, make a Constitution saving throw: DC 10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher. Each source of damage is a separate save.
- Being incapacitated or killed ends concentration. The GM may call for a save in other distracting situations, like a wave crashing over you.
That’s why concentration spells are the ones to plan around: 40% of all SRD spells use it, including most of the strongest buffs and battlefield control.
