n00b question: Concentration spell duration

[bjj8383]

For spells that have "Duration: Concentration", what exactly do you need to achieve on your Concentration check?? Under the descriptions and rules for Spell Duration and the Concentration skill, there's no mention of it. There's plenty of rules for taking damage and violent movement and such, but for your basic "Duration: Concentration," what's the needed roll? Thanks

No roll is required at all. The only thing you have to do for concentration spells is maintain concentration, which is usually a standard action per round as per the duration rules

Duration: Concentration effectively means "as long as you focus on maintaining the spell".'

The only reason you would need to roll a check is if something distracting happened that would ruin your focus.

And yes, their choice of words in writing this is a bit confusing.
