[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8222542, member: 2629"] I allowed spellcasters to use "advanced concentration" rules in two games. Both were different rules. In the first, it gave you "concentration points" equal to 1/2 your spellcasting level (rounded up). If you're a 9th level wizard, you get 5. If you're a 6th level wizard and 5th level ranger, you get 5. Concentrating on the first spell requires you to use a number of points equal to the level at which you cast the spell. Concentrating on a second spell requires the same plus one. Concentrating on three requires plus two. A fourth would be plus three. Etc... An 11th level wizard (6 points) could concentrate on: [LIST] [*]Four cantrips. [*]Three first level spells. [*]A fourth level spell and a first level spell. [*]A third level spell and up to a second level spell. [*]One fifth or sixth level spell. [/LIST] In the second, you could concentrate on two spells so long as one targeted you, and only you. Neither broke the game. The first confused people enough that I printed out cards for them to know what they could concentrate upon. The second was not too exciting as that campaign had relatively fewer spellcasters and the PC spellcaster was more of a blaster and knew few concentration spells. [/QUOTE]
