Breetai 06-14-05, 11:58 AM	I was wondering about spell concentration and distractions for non-magical distractions that don't deal damage. I.E. a thunderstone is about the best distraction you can get without prying the wizards arms off or basically dealing damage. What is the concentration check if you get hit with a thunderstone while concentrating? The fort save for the deafening effect is 15 but I thought the concentration check should be much higher than that. at least 20.
Someone 06-14-05, 12:16 PM	The Concentration check would only apply if the thunderstone went off as the spell was being cast. Otherwise, a thunderstone disrupts spellcasting by potentially leaving the caster deaf, which is a flat 20% chance to miscast a spell with a verbal component. But don't forget to add the spell level of the spell being cast to the DC of the Concentration check.
