I was wondering if there's a test to perfom if your wizard or priest cast a spell while prone.

What's the DC of the concentration check (if any) if I use my attack of opportunity to trip my opponnent while he is casting ?

Thanks

Bye the way is it the right place for the kind of questions about rules ?

To my knowledge, there are no penalties to casting or attacking at all while prone.

for casting(defensive or otherwise) there is no penalty that i have found, though attacking from prone with a melee weapon incurs a -4 attack penalty and you cant use ranged weapons at all while prone (except for crossbow & shuriken, and those with no penalty)

I dunno. It's hard to put much weight behind the throw if you're prone. But yeah, it should still be possible. Might be more like the -4 though (having not read the rules on it).

Using a wand or similar item would (logically) not incur any penalties I think. Dunno about the rest though.
