Casting defensively with a roll of one

[Wyrd20]

Quick question. Do you automatically fail when casting defensively on a roll of one?

[Quatar]

I'm pretty sure only attack rolls auto-fail on a roll of one, skills and other things can succeed on a 1 if you have high enough bonus.
On the other hand they don't auto-suceed on a 20 either

Yes. Rolling a one is an automatic failure when it comes to ability checks, which is what Concentration checks are.

That is not true. Only saves and attack rolls are autofails and auto successes on 1's and 20's

I'll just stay out of the Rules Questions forum XD That's the 2nd time today I've been wrong.

Being wrong is how you learn. Nothing helps you think about a rules interpretation like having to sit down and think about your position while someone else is presenting theirs.

Thanks for the quick answers. I can breath easier knowing that I won't auto-fail 5% of my spell strikes!
