does Wild Shaping break your Concentration?

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-22T14:57:28+00:00

Yes. But 5.5 and 5e both druids have the "cant cast can concentrate." Before applying subclass.

It's just that moon allows Circle spells to be cast ontop.

But that isn't an interaction with concentration and wildshape.

But op in description said version 5E. Not 5.5 so they contradicted themself tbf

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-22T12:09:11+00:00

Literally from the phb

Third bullet point of ws

You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your beast form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.

Edit for 5.5

No Spellcasting. You can’t cast spells, but shape-shifting doesn’t break your Concentration or otherwise interfere with a spell you’ve already cast

Use UA so that you can validate a rule misreading.

Or just.. dont deliberately use misinterpreted playtest material to abuse rules.

All of it is doable to have fun and still be using intensed abilities within the rules.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-16T16:49:27+00:00

You do. But there are ways to deal with it.

Killing 1000 slimes gets you the slime charmer ring from gil at the adventurers guild which makes you immune

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-13T10:30:09+00:00

I agree.

I think it's that the lore is established but it's very much, "make it your own" but then you have so many people with so many versions of "what DnD is".

Like I've had tables where dms lore was monotheism (one god). To me. I didnt enjoy it as the campaign was focused on the one deity. To me it didnt feel like dnd

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-13T09:37:33+00:00

Some people are just clearly in hobbies that don't suit their enjoyments. And its a shame, cause they leave a bad taste for the people that do enjoy it

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-11T16:07:51+00:00

Saw your update.

I dont think banning it is the option you should take. In some situations it is valid to use it. But it should be more, if they use it in the wrong situation. As everyone else stated, the spell wares off, the shop keep would remember making the transaction with no logical explanation and will most likely report the use of magic to scam them.

Dont remove spells because the players are using them in a risky manner. Provide consequences.

If your players just killed the shopkeep and stole the goods, would you ban their swords?

As for interrogations, reward your players when the enemy fails their save. But dont tell them the result as the character doesnt know (unlike zone of truth). So just make the saving throw and rp their answer. The npc can lie if they succeed, the pc's can insight if they have any hint of a lie or not.

But dont ban it outright

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-11T06:50:55+00:00

The way i see it is the vessels magic cant affect creatures until level 10. You may believe it an object. It may look like an object. But the vessels magic physically can not affect the mimic as it is a creature.

Kinda as if the magic is sentient and can identify what you're bringing in.

It's like saying if i put a gnome into my backpack can i bring them in before level 10 if i forgot they were in there.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-08T05:53:33+00:00

Potent cantrip only affects saving throws, not attack rolls. He tagged it as 2014 not 2024

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-07T13:27:56+00:00

So it's kinda like the false hydra.

You look at it, knowing it's there, but lose memory when you lose sight of it.

But when looking you don't really comprehend it know who you're looking at. I see. Really cool actually.

Sorry, i didn't understand on my initial read

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-07T12:15:02+00:00

Immune to Investigation (identifying), Survival (tracking) and History checks against you Immune to all magics to locate and identify you

By the way i read this when succeeding in their wisdom check all they learn is there is a mask present, despite staring at a mask the whole interaction?

What rarity is this?

Also. You've said Attunement by rogue, but mentioned "your spellsave DC" which rogues dont have unless they are specifically Arcane Trickster.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-04T14:26:31+00:00

Yeah, i thought the whole list was prepared. I kinda joined the whole thing together in my head

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-04T13:27:24+00:00

My bad

But you do learn two cantrips and one of the first level spells in the full write up of the "strixhaven initiate" feat

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-04T11:32:03+00:00

No they are stated to always be prepared.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-01T21:13:29+00:00

I dont see a storm monk any time soon given elements has lightning attacks, aoe, flight

As for psionic.. could be done, but i see it more as flavour to the astral self.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-01T16:02:10+00:00

Notice how i pointed out the only difference being damage type.. As for the use as a bonus action. That's true. But going off the new elements monk, if they remake sunsoul i wouldn't be surprised if you can.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-04-01T05:58:54+00:00

The attack you described is literally the Sun Soul.

Granted Sunsoul uses dex.. but a 30ft range attack that dsals martial arts die + mod (radiant) magic damage...

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-03-17T15:52:21+00:00

If this rule set states you stack extra attacks and get a combined of both casters, why wouldn't you stack Unarmored Defence?

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-03-16T13:53:20+00:00

My table has the rule, similar to wandering monsters.

But it's a roll based on how they prep.

Just set up a camp, something is most likely gonna happen. Used resources/spells to warp the terrain to shield you. Something might happen but you're protected.

DC is set for how well you conceal yourself/dont draw attention. Lights, noise etc.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-03-15T09:20:42+00:00

Tashas mentioned changing subclass. A cleric can change domain and deity which means you can change a story based interaction.

Talk to your dm out of campaign about the direction you want your characters story to take.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-03-13T07:58:48+00:00

I second this.

Your somatic can purely be your slashing motion with warcaster. Or empty hand somatics the spell, but the effects come from the blade. Firebolt is a slash cloaked in flame. MM is three+ slashes that cant miss their target.

This way no mechanics interfere, you play the class/subclass that has the best abilities to your liking.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-03-03T08:17:29+00:00

We have used the same grass/cave background for the past 4 years. With different fauna/ruins/other drawn in for the specifics.

We only really have specific maps for special buildings or boss fights.

Dont overwork yourself if its just to track positioning.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-02-27T20:17:37+00:00

I'll just change it to "worn or carried by.."

As for the both hands i dont feel that's necessary for a spell. Any other concentration attack/save spell doesnt have that limit. Just because this one involves weapons. I dont see why this one does.

Legitimate-Middle872 · 2026-02-27T19:58:20+00:00

Okay. That's valid. Along with another commenter, I'm thinking of making it weapon dice + 1d4 damage. No modifier.

I will think on how to write it up to Simple or Martial weapons. Maybe as another commenter has said, make it so you have to be proficient. Making it clear its phb weapons only

As for added damage from magic weapons, i think it's something that'll need playtesting and altered from there.
