[QUOTE="Phazonfish, post: 7281882, member: 6855766"] My apologies if my post was worded unintuitively, it was just the first way it came to mind. With regards to your first question, no, I am saying some DMs may rule that you have to decide whether or not you are concentrating even if you do not know if your spell has taken root; I would not rule as such because it sounds unfun, but I would not hold it against a DM if they pulled that on me because it makes sense from a certain perspective, especially since I was responding to talk of how to use the concentration mechanic to gain more knowledge than you should have. With regards to your second question, no, in that case the DM has just tricked him into not casting another concentration spell until he changes his mind on whether or not he wants to continue concentrating and can choose to cease doing so at any time; this time will likely come up within a round or two after it becomes obvious that the target is not listening to your suggestion.
