[QUOTE="Paraxis, post: 6512644, member: 13009"] I think the current concentration rules are holding up fine. They keep the number of buffs to a manageable number, and makes people alter tactics a bit. I do think some of the npc's/monsters need to get a boost. So how about letting each type special traits on page 10 of the MM have a concentration spell up, so Innate Spellcasting, Spellcasting, and Psionics each has a potential concentration effect going on. So a mind flayer arcanist could have dominate monster and telekinesis up at the same time. Speaking of abilities for monsters don't think at-will abilities should count either, so the above mind flayer could levitate and detect thoughts at the same time, while dominating a monster. I mean that sounds like exactly the kind of thing a mind flayer arcanist should be doing. PC's wont have to worry about much of this I mean a tiefling or drow could keep darkness up (Innate Spellcasting) while maintaining a concentration spell he cast from his class. Also if we consider cantrips At-Will abilities that means characters could keep dancing lights, mage hand, friends, resistance, and true strike up while having one other concentration spell going. I don't think that will break the game. [/QUOTE]
