Alternatively, you can choose to end your PC’s concentration at any time and end the spell before it reaches its normal duration.
If your PC’s concentration is broken, the spell automatically ends (because their focus was interrupted). As long as your PC can hold concentration, their spell remains active. Rather, it’s something that your character naturally does to the best of their ability whenever they cast a concentration spell.Ĭharacters must focus on concentration spells to keep them active. Then, in the 4th edition, it was absent entirely. If a spell requires concentration, it’ll be listed next to the spell’s duration in the D&D rulebook. Therefore, concentration is essentially a way to measure a spellcaster’s focus, particularly in battle. Concentration spells only last for the maximum duration possible (which is listed with the spell) if your spellcaster character can maintain concentration on the spell.
In D&D 5e, certain spells are marked “concentration” (or “C”). Concentration determines a spellcaster’s ability to maintain their spell.
