[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 7406605, member: 996"] The latter had a short duration after concentration ended, IIRC. The former, if your concentration was broken, attacked you. 1e was very uneven, that way. And 1e concentration didn't just lock out other concentration spells, it kept you from casting, at all, because any casting required you concentrate... Sure, hold person was just a fire-and-forget, save-or-else spell, and bless wasn't a critical component of a broken combos, then, either. Fly & invisible was a little tricky in 1e. IIRC, casting broke invisibility, and you couldn't cast while flying. So you'd cast fly, but not use it yet, then cast invisibility, and you'd be flying invisibly - but you wouldn't be raining destruction on the enemy from points unknown in the sky without breaking said invisibility. Really, the 5e feel is pretty close to the classic, that way. [/QUOTE]
