So here's the scenario. I have a player that moved into a threat range. On his turn he gets in AoO doing 21 damage. Tell him to make concentration check, he tells me that he doesn't have to.
I'm like why?
He tells me that the concentration check is made on the movement and not for the round that includes of casting a spell or doing a psionic check and movement.
Movement and Standard is a round and it includes the actions made in that round.
VS player response
the AoO was from the movement phase. (before he even cast anything.) the move through threatened spaces triggers an AoO. so you whacked him for moving into a space. once he arrived at said space (after you whacked him) he then begins the process of casting/manifesting. at this point you can choose to take another AoO if you have the ability to do so if you want to to try and prevent the spell "as it is being cast" by dealing damage.
the SRD and PHB explains this under concentration: "during the action" not "during the turn".
