[QUOTE="AaronOfBarbaria, post: 6714029, member: 6701872"] That [I]is[/I] the case. Even if we are talking about some should be super-rare corner case of a player that likes concentration spells but doesn't think to put a decent score in Constitution and has no other means to influence concentration saves for whatever reason applies, including that they can't manage to avoid being chosen as a target for damage despite whatever party members are with them and positioning options are available, and that their AC isn't managing to turn away a bunch of attacks like it seems basically designed to do... You've got even odds at a DC 10 check (that's the DC of most concentration checks until high enough level to have been able to do something about your concentration, even if it was just rasing your constitution) at a Constitution of 8. You have to go out of your way to be bad at concentration, or have a DM that is actually trying to rack up TPKs on purpose by throwing super-high damage per hit to party's HP totals ratios at you, just to get your typical concentration roll [I]down[/I] to the odds of a coin toss. If you actually try to be good at concentration? Then you are good at it and you rarely fail. [/QUOTE]
