[RPG] Does Time Stop disrupt concentration on spells

concentrationdnd-5espells

If I have a wizard that casts time stop, it doesn't actually speed up the caster; rather, it slows every other creature down. That would suggest that the wizard is taking their bonus turns as regular turns, and then the affected creatures just skip out on those rounds until they can act again.

If that's the case, does time stop disrupt other spellcaster's spells that have concentration while the wizard is spending their "bonus" turns, and therefore can't spend the bonus action to maintain the concentration?

Best Answer

Maintaining concentration does not require a bonus action, or any other kind of action. There are only 4 conditions that end concentration:

  • The spellcaster can choose to end it at any time, no action required
  • Casting another spell that requires concentration
  • Taking damage and failing the resulting Constitution saving throw
  • Being incapacitated or killed

Since Time Stop does not cause any of these things to happen, it has no effect on a spellcaster's concentration.
