Talk:Concentration (D&D skill)

About Casting Aggressively

I'm a bit fuzzy here: Where is the trade-off vs normal casting? Is there a situation where you would prefer to not use this option, and cast normally with a plain "trust your AC"? --Mats Öhrman

Maybe you could get a penalty to the second Concentration test? --TexaS

Answer: no. This is always preferable to normal casting. The only thing you same is a die roll. Do we want this to carry a risk? With the fumble rule, this can cause some automatic spell failures. Other risks I see this could have is a reduction in AC (which should probably mean its DC goes down) or a risk to lose the spell if you roll badly enough. Perhaps any hit on you causes the spell to fail. --Starfox

In the final analysis, I decided that casting aggressively should carry no penalty, and is in fact the default mode; whenever you trigger an attack of opportunity. Perhaps the DC needs to increase because of this?
