| Feb 23, 2017 at 17:10 | comment | added | Derek Stucki | @korvinstarmast the bulk of his answer is, indeed, about hits. His conclusion then talks about duration (rounds). That disconnect is the crux of my problem with his conclusion. | |

| Feb 23, 2017 at 16:41 | comment | added | Derek Stucki | Your math looks solid, but your conclusion doesn't bring back in things that you were forced to neglect in the math such as AC. A high AC character can indeed expect to maintain concentration for several rounds on the front line due to not taking many hits per round. | |

| Feb 23, 2017 at 16:19 | comment | added | CTWind | Re: "Con save +10: You have a 5% chance to fail, as a 1 is always a failure", Natural 1s do not have any special effect on non-death saving throws. If you have at least +9 to con saves, then you will always pass concentration checks where the triggering damage is 21 or lower. | |
| Feb 23, 2017 at 16:18 | comment | added | András | @KorvinStarmast, "think of this as a best case scenario". Some people seem to think you can actually maintain a melee spell for a 100 rounds. rpg.stackexchange.com/a/94853/9552 | |

| Feb 23, 2017 at 15:39 | comment | added | KorvinStarmast | ...you do not get any one damage instance above 21. There are ample opportunities to get hit with more damage than that as you go up in level, and if you are hit with a crit. | |
