[QUOTE="bgbarcus, post: 6632894, member: 6784891"] That is exactly the way the discussion has sounded. If the entire topic is your displeasure with how concentration works, that is a different discussion than what has been happening here. For myself, I'm perfectly happy with how concentration works. That one simple rule prevents wizards from becoming the unstoppable god-like beings that showed up in earlier editions. If anything, the limits imposed by concentration should be seen as part of the challenge that makes the game fun. Stacking a bunch of buff spells on one character to turn them into a unstoppable force might be fun a couple of times but it gets really dull when that same tactic gets pulled out for every big monster. Making that more difficult is a good thing in my mind. Sometimes the best answer is to tuck tail and run, hoping to survive long enough to return with a better plan. But if that plan relies solely on a concentration spell working I'll refer you back to early in the thread when Dispel Magic was mentioned. [/QUOTE]
