Yeah automation is nice, but just like with saves - my players *want* to make their own rolls and monsters seldom concentrate. One of FG's greatest strengths is it recreates that tension around a table where on a save or crucial check everyone watches the dice roll and cheers or groans at the result. You lose that IMO with too much automation.

Agreed. Sometimes too much automation defeats the fun of the game.

Agreed! I'm of the playstyle similar to others here where I simply apply add a "(spellname); Concentration [SELF]" effect to any spell that requires me to concentrate on my own character sheet. I then apply that effect to myself, and roll my own saves as necessary.

[Baron28]

To stick with chez's idea, could it be possible when you parse a spell with concentration that it adds that effect to apply to yourself to the character sheet?

[HeidsfieldK]

What I do is just drop an effect: "Concentrating" on the character. There's nothing automatic about it - but its there on the tracker to remind you that he is concentrating, then I will click on the character's effect expansion button so that character's effects stay expanded which is my signal to myself there is an effect on that character I should be worrying about when it's not that character's turn and you will always see the Concentrating effect on the tracker even if it is not the character's turn.

Isn't there a script, though, that automatically rolls a concentration check? Pretty sure Logan on Nat19 does that for characters he or someone else plays
