[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6491757, member: 13009"] Yeah I got that, but I was questioning the OP's statement about the 8 in the ability score being required. You can change form and maintain concentrations, you can't cast spells because it says you can't use any gear/equipment (so no material components or foci) and it says you can't cast anything that needs verbal or somatic components. You can have 1's in Int/Wis/Cha and still maintain concentration. The only things that break concentration are. Damage (forces a check DC 10 or half damage use higher) Casting another concentration spell (automatic) Environmental hazards (DM can force a check DC 10) Being incapacitated or killed (automatic) Period end of story, those 4 things. Changing form, reducing ability scores, conditions like (restrained, blinded, charmed, frightened), none of these things call for a concentration check. So if some creature attacks you with a toxic cloud that makes you suffer the blind and poison condition but does no damage, you maintain concentration. If some spell turns you into a newt either by your own hand or that of another you maintain concentration. If some creature drains your casting stat down to that of an animal you maintain concentration. [/QUOTE]
