Yes, I get that we have proficiency and can reroll at higher levels but concentration checks seem really easy to fail on average and in 5E, getting hit feels more probable than other editions to me. I feel as though in the war between attack bonus and AC, 5E goes to the attack bonus. Perhaps the devs just felt that hitting is more fun than missing. I dunno.I rather wish there was some way to mathematically parse out the probability of losing a concentration spell as a front line fighter/mage but I figure there are just too many variables that are specific to the DM and adventure being played.I like Mirror Image far more as 2nd level spells go since there is no concentration. The downside is that I'm not sure it levels well since the images will likely have a much lower AC than the player at higher levels and the party starts facing more powerful opponents. So, there will be spots where the attack goes after an image and needs something like a 2 or better to hit. The attack hits and dispels an image but the roll wasn't actually high enough to hit the player if he was the target. Therefore the spell did nothing other than lose an image. The player wouldn't have been hit either way. Again, I'd love to see some math on how this scales is such a thing can even be calculated.</blockquote>
