Keeping up concentration is not as difficult as you think it is for any player that understands how to optimize. I standardly take the Resilient: Con feat and often take the War Caster feat as a cleric. So this is a matter of style of play differing and thus your viewpoint influenced by your style of play and mine influenced by mine. We definitely keep bless active doing exactly as I stated it does.It is extremely likely unless the cleric is played recklessly, which we don't tend to do. Your statement is true in games where the cleric places himself in position to have his concentration disrupted. But in games with strong party tactical play, keeping bless is up not difficult at all save in very few fights where the opponent has a strong ability to do damage at a distance. As I'm a Banana states, my group plays in a highly optimized manner including utilizing tactics aimed at limiting contact with classes providing powerful buffs. There are very few other necessary spells that require concentration at low level better than bless. I've had my cleric use other spells for fun. When it comes it tactical impact, I use bless and I position to keep it active. I don't have a hard time keeping it active unless I get blindsided by a dragon or spell.</blockquote>
