Right now a concentration spell requires a standard action to maintain. Is there a feat that renders this a swift action? Should there be one?
I envision such a feat, with the prerequisite being a high number of ranks in Spellcraft.
Would you allow this in your campaign?
What/how much prerequisites would you use?

huh?
oh, metamagic feat 2 levels higher
sounds good
There's a Bard feat that lets the bard continue concentration as a free action so long as he's also maintaining his performance (as what ever action a bard of his level maintains BP as).
I'm only looking at a swift action, but what is the name of the bard feat?

My memory was a bit off. Here's the important bit
Second, as a move action, you can use 1 round of bardic performance to maintain a bard spell with a duration of concentration. You can cast another spell in the same round you are using bardic magic to maintain concentration; if you do this, your concentration on the maintained spell ends when you end the bardic performance the spell is part of.
Here's what I suggest:
Swift Concentration
metamagic feat
+1 level
Caster may maintain concentration on a spell as a swift action but must make a concentration check to perform non-move actions such as combat. Failure loses the spell. Casting in combat imposes an additional check to avoid AOOs.
Simulcast
metamagic feat
prerequisite Swift Concentration
+3 levels
Caster may maintain concentration on a concentration spell as a swift action and can perform standard and full-round actions as well, including casting other spells which do not require concentration too.
Casting in melee still imposes a concentration check against AOOs as usual.
What do you guys think? These would typically sync with illusions.
