1 hr/level, 1 creature target touched.


In place of a Will saving throw to resist the effects of a distracting spell such as Tasha's hideous laughter or daze, the target of this spell can substitute a Concentration check.


It gives a Concentration bonus (+4) as well.

I mean, this makes any warrior with a concentration skill really good (Pally, Ranger, Monk etc). Still leaves some will issues, but better than they are usually.

Hmm, good catch. Though keep in mind that it only works against stuff that explicitly makes you lose actions. So it's irrelevant against Dominate, for instance, but just fine against Slow.

The Diamond Mind counters are still more effective since the saving throw is limited to effects that make you lose actions. Nice in a non-ToB campaign though, for sure.

Even Diamond Minds will love the Concentration boost, no?

Any reason you can't have both?

This one doesn't cost an immediate action, and you already have Concentration pumped. And it gives you even more Concentration.

Half casters are about the only people with decent concentration scores that don't already get full will saves. Could be intresting if you built a character around it though.
