Message: <blockquote data-quote="KarinsDad" data-source="post: 6430949" data-attributes="member: 2011">There are very few "when the spell starts to get cast, or when the damage starts, or when the attack roll is rolled before the damage, or when the spell is finally cast, etc." in the 5E like in some earlier editions.There are a few sentences in the rules that seem to disagree with your interpretation:1) You lose concentration on a spell if you cast another spell that requires concentration.2) On your next turn, you gain advantage on your first attack roll against the target, provided that this spell hasn't ended.3) You can't concentrate on two spells at once.4) The effects of different spells add together while the durations of those spells overlap.Your argument is that the first concentration spell still works until the second spell is completely 100% cast. But that implies an overlap that #3 and #4 above seems to indicate doesn't occur. There really appears to be a either you are concentrating on this spell, or on the other spell, but not both RAI and RAW in 5E.</blockquote>
