    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.

    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?

    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
