[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 7977774, member: 72555"] "Move it to a chicken" does not do anything useful. Next combat includes plenty of "subsequent turn". The real chicken trick is this: Have a long rest. Wake up, refreshed. Cast hex on a chicken. Kill the chicken. Take a short rest, keeping concentration on hex. You now have all of your spell slots back, and are concentrating on hex. Now, this is a [I]bit[/I] bag of rats. But the fact you are sacrificing animals to power your Warlock magic makes it a bit better. ;) --- So, we have a spell that lasts 1 hour baseline. It is a concentration spell. And you rule "no, you cannot concentrate that long". At higher levels: it lasts 8 to 24 hours. If it is impossible to concentrate on a spell for 8 to 24 hours, why have a concentration spell that upgrades to 8 or 24 hours with higher level slots? Your poor players. I mean, it would be one thing if you said "after considering things, I think Warlocks are too powerful, and have too many spell slots, and Hex is also too strong". Heck, even "you cannot concentrate while doing a short rest" is reasonable. It does hurt Warlocks and Rangers mainly, but in a game where you get 5+ short rests per long rest and piles of wilderness exploration that might not be a bad plan. [/QUOTE]
