[QUOTE="IceBear, post: 125066, member: 1118"] Right, but as I've proven taking that literally will get you into trouble with spells with long casting times. Druid casting Call Lightning (10 minute casting time). As you say, it says ANY damage taken during the casting of the spell. So, if the druid on round 1 gets hit would you make them take a Concentration check then or 99 rounds later when the spell is finished. If you say in round 1, what happens if the druid gets hit again in round 2? You said you're supposed to make a check for ALL the damage you take while casting the spell. If you wait until the end of the 10 minutes then you could run into a situation where the spell was disrupted in round 1, but the druid had to wait 99 rounds to realize it. I think you would agree that you should have made the check in round 1. BUT....if you do that, then you're now not making one check for ALL the damage suffered during the casting of the spell are you. And if you use a different rule for one spell you are now being inconsistent in your ruling. What I think I'll do is sort of a hybrid of what Artoomis is stating. If you get hit by multiple damage in the same initiative count then I'll add those up and make the check. If someone is casting a 1 round spell and gets hit by an attack in Initiative Count 20 and then again in Initiative Count 1 I feel that sufficient time has passed that they wouldn't stack. If, however, both hits came on Initiative Count 20 then I'd probably allow the two damages to stack for one check. IceBear [/QUOTE]
