[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 8239148, member: 11"] In my session yesterday, the party bard/wizard went to his go-to spell against armored foes, [I]Heat Metal[/I], which can be a devastating spell, esp. at lower levels. The target was a cleric and in one of the few rounds left to her before the heat damage killed her (her minions were firing multiple arrows at the PC, but he was passing concentration checks like nothing!) I had her cast [I]command [/I]at the PC in an attempt to break his concentration on the spell. He made his save, so didn't have to "grovel" as commanded, but I was wondering if causing someone to "grovel" or "surrender" would break their concentration on the spell (I assume the second definitely would because surrendering assumes not continuing to attempt harm on opponents) but was wondering what others thought and if there is an even more direct and clear one-word command that could disrupt the spell in that way? I think commands like "dismiss!" or "dispel!" would be too ambiguous and it has to be one word, so "Distracted!" doesn't make sense. [/QUOTE]
