Concentration and Focus

Concentration and Focus

When it comes to tasks that require your direct attention, it may require you to focus or to concentrate.

Concentration

Tasks that require concentration are tasks that require full, undivided attention. A creature can concentrate on only one thing at a time. If the concentrating creature takes any amount of damage from a source, it must make a Resolve test against the amount of damage taken. Upon failing, it loses concentration. Concentrating creatures cannot focus, cast spells, take the Attack action, the Block action, or the Dodge action.

Focus

Tasks that require focus do not require utter fixation, but do require some level of consistent, extended attention. A creature can focus on a number of tasks equal to its Awareness score. When a focusing creature takes any amount of damage from a source, it must make a Fortitude test against the amount of damage taken. For each task it's focusing on beyond the first, it gets a point of disfavor. Upon failing the test, it loses focus on all tasks.
