I could tell you...but then I'd have to kill you. IYKWIM, AITYD.

You could also distract by speaking misc. words to a caster, but not the whole word, just the firsts letter of every word. Thanks for the idea KR, you...

those suggestions may have been in jest, but if they don't at least give you an idea as to "what other "distractions" can force a concentration check", then i for one have no clue what you're asking for...

Anything that says it forces a Conc check and doesn't deal damage (many spells and the like do this). Trip attacks would probably fall in this dept as was mentioned above. It really depends on the DMs call, but generally damage, spells that indicate they can cause a Conc check, and enviromental conditions(riding on horseback, etc) are the only things you'll really see.

Yup, unless it allows to increase your range, there is not much sense in forcing a Concentration check without dealing damage, when you can do so with dealing damage as well!

And odds are the DC will be MUCH higher than anything else you can do.
For example a 3rd level spell...
Riding on Horseback: DC 18
Vigorous Motion: DC 13
Entangled: DC15
Hit by an attack for 12 points of damage: DC 25

In fact if you can reliably break 10 damage, theres no better way to get a high Concentration DC.
