How does a cone work DND?

A cone extends in a direction you choose from its point of origin. A cone's width at a given point along its length is equal to that point's distance from the point of origin. A cone's area of effect specifies its maximum length.


Likewise, people ask, how wide is a cone 5e?

It has a width at it's furthest extent along the straight line equal to the length of that line. A 30' cone will extend 6 squares from its origin and be 6 squares wide at it's fullest extent.

Secondly, hOW DO concentration spells work 5e? Concentration. Some Spells require you to maintain Concentration in order to keep their magic active. If you lose Concentration, such a spell ends. If a spell must be maintained with Concentration, that fact appears in its Duration entry, and the spell specifies how long you can concentrate on it.

Does paralyze break concentration?

If it isn't on the listed triggers for a concentration check, or explicitly called out in a spell/condition description, the spell keeps going. Paralysis actually causes the incapacitated condition. Incapacitated also doesn't get a concentration check, concentration simply ends when incapacitated.

Are Cantrips bonus actions?

Not all cantrips are cast as bonus actions, and you can find the casting time on the spell's description. Similarly, some non-cantrip spells can be cast with a bonus action. Again, the spell's description should specify the casting time. In most cases, you can only cast one non-cantrip spell per turn.

Can you use Cantrips while concentrating?

Yes, with the following exceptions. You lose concentration on a spell if you cast another spell that requires concentration. You can't concentrate on two spells at once. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell's magic requires concentration (explained in chapter 10).
