[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7064403, member: 12731"] Random feedback: This lets you, say, "give" the Fighter his own Fly spell, so you can focus on something more worthy of your concentration... am I correct? So essentially you double the cost (in slots and casting rounds) of a spell you want to hand over concentration on (minimum 4th). Might sound reasonable, but it does increase nova capabilities (where spending slots is less of an issue). First off: you need to ask yourself if the Wizard should be able to bring along underlings to concentrate on buffs [I]on the wizard[/I]. That is, limiting the spell only to spells that affect the target (such as Fly being cast on the fighter, not the wizard). Without this limit, wizards will find ways to essentially safeguard their buffs against concentration-break. Name: I realize you mean pass as in "pass along the bucket", but I unfortunately read "Pass Concentration" as giving concentration a pass. Perhaps a clearer name? Spell lists: such a major ability should not be a Wiz exclusive. I suggest at least Cleric and Druid. Next issue: does the target need to stay within a certain range of the wizard (or maintain line of effect etc)? Again, otherwise you can let your familiar, your steed and your enslaved Succubus concentrate on your buffs and then send them into a demiplane where nobody can break their concentration. (Or simply just hide behind a corner) Final Q: Do you intend more than one of these at a time - or things could get really whacky. Especially if the above issues haven't made you add any restrictions... That's all for now [/QUOTE]
