Spell disruption checks


Rules Discussion


I have been looking through the core rulebook and I do not see any concentration roll rules for spell casters taking damage while trying in the process of casting. Did they eliminate this?? I see there a abilities that have the concentrate tag.

It seems that it is just specific conditions that can stop a spell mid-cast. I was wondering if there is something I overlooked. This is my first experience with Pathfinder. I played 3.0/3.5 long time ago, and currently 5th edition. I am wanting try this out since 5E is a lil too basic/simple for myself.


You don't lose a spell upon taking damage. Even if an AoO or similar ability hits you during casting, it will usually say it only disrupts if it scores a critical hit.

The concentrate tag is there for abilities that say "this thing happens to other things that have the concentrate tag." Barbarians can't perform concentrate actions while raging, some reactions key off concentrate actions, etc.

Excellent, thank you so much. This will make my mage player very happy. I am really liking this version compared to 3.0/3.5.
