Anarchic Bloodline Question

Bloodline Arcana

Whenever you fail a concentration check to cast a spell, a cantrip effect is created. Randomly determine one of your cantrips known (for example, if you know 6 cantrips, roll 1d6). There is a 50% chance this cantrip affects a target of your choice within 60 feet; otherwise it affects you.

Does the cantrip require a concentration check? Does spell resistance and/or saves apply as normal against this cantrip, or does it just "affect" the target?

No to the concentration check, it just happens.
Saves and resistance would occur as normal. There is nothing to indicate they wouldn't apply. It would need specific wording to remove saves and resistances.

Well, I ask because as I see it, you don't cast the cantrip and it isn't a spell, it just "affects" a semi-random target.

And the effect includes a saving throw and spell resistance.

Fair enough.

If a ranged or melee touch attack, do we do that as normal?

[Weirdo]

Yes.
