However, there are so many concentration spells that many of them are hard to ever justify using when their power pales in comparison to the other options. Playing a spell-caster, you quickly become limited to the same few spells all the time. At the very least it would be nice if you could cast concentration spells as instantaneous spells without interrupting other concentration. That is my intent in suggesting this modification.I have tried to simplify it, as some people seem to think this too complicated, but I have also added a benefit for familiars and animal companions. Multiple Concentration The first round of a concentration spell does not require concentration unless its duration is only one round, and casting a concentration spell does not interrupt other concentration spells. At the start of your turn, you may choose to activate one spell you are concentrating on. That spell's effects are active that round. All other concentration spells are inactive. When you make a saving throw to retain concentration, you do so for each spell separately. Inactive Spells. While a spell is inactive, it becomes as an illusion that creatures can see through, and its other sensory qualities become faint to those creatures. A summoned creature can still move, but also becomes faint and cannot take other actions or reactions. It can still be attacked and take damage. Familiars and Animal Companions. If you have a familiar or animal companion within 5 feet of you when you make a Constitution saving throw to retain concentration, it may use its reaction to give you advantage on the roll. If you would already have had advantage, you roll three d20's instead of two, and use the highest of the three rolls. </blockquote>
