[QUOTE="KarinsDad, post: 354399, member: 2011"] Well, actually, the Concentration check is 52. Still extremely difficult to make. If the save is made, it becomes a 34. A Druid who keys on Concentration could have as high as +20 at 13th level, so it is fairly possible to make the Concentration roll if he makes the Save. But, as a Druid, would you cast Creeping Doom in the middle of a normal combat? I wouldn't. It takes too long to cast. I would only cast it with several Protection From Elements spells up (Fire and Lightning being the first two obvious choices) and possibly from Concealment. In fact, I would get the Silent Spell feat and cast it from afar in the woods at level 15. :) It is more of an ambush spell than it is a normal combat spell unless your opponents are really pre-occupied, or you are far enough away that they might not hear your spell casting in combat. Also, if you do cast it in normal combat, there is a fair chance that the combatant types will not recognize it. One round spells tend to be those wimpy Summoning spells. ;) So, if the enemy spell casters have lower initiatives than the enemy combatant types, there is a good chance that only the enemy spell casters can stop it. Pick and choose your battlegrounds. [/QUOTE]
