#2 jaelis Jul 07, 2015 20:43:54	Yes, if an item lets you cast a spell that requires concentration, then you need to concentrate on it.
#3 Byakugan01 Jul 08, 2015 3:27:08	Technically, drinking potions that cast spells also require concentration.  That is a blanket rule that applies to all items that cast spells.  However all of the potions in the PHB break this rule because they explicitly say they do.    Kinda a picky point, but it could be an important distinction.
#4 Jared711 Jul 08, 2015 9:50:56	What about the 2nd part of my question.  Is drinking a potion considered casting a spell?  Could I drink a potion and bonus action misty step?
#5 jaelis Jul 08, 2015 9:55:44	It depends what the potion says. If it says it lets you cast a spell then you cast the spell. The potions in the basic rules do not  work that way.
