This new concentration rule is fairly different, and in fact its main job is around limiting buff spells. In fact I will say the biggest question mark to me about 5e (that I will need to see in play), is how do high level spells shape the game. Are they sufficient curtailed, or do they still rule the roost?</blockquote>
