| Just to be sure: subdual/nonlethal damage would cause a spellcaster to make a concentration check to cast a spell, right? |

That's pretty much how I've always interpreted it, although I think there's some conditional factors involved.
On a related note, there's supposed to be some alternate rules on this in Unearthed Arcana I believe.

I was just asking, since a side comment my other character (a half-elven wizard, late of Silverymoon and the Lady's College) made about the training he'd undergone. After all, I'm sure that concentration would have been an important part of it, so that a spell mishap wouldn't occur and wreck the city. Anyway, I was thinking that other than that distracting ray spell found in Dragon Magazine Annual #5, there ought to be other ways to test a spellcaster's focus. I just wanted to make sure that subdual/nonlethal damage would work for that.
Perhaps I'll cook it up and place a few scrolls for sale in the Shop.  |

Sounds great...I hope they come in handy.
Now, in that Dragon Magazine Annual #5 tome, did it mentioned which issue of DM that distracting ray spell was detailed in...?

If you're referring to the distracting ray found in Annual #5, pages 23-24 of Rays of Light by Stephen Schubert, I got the impression that article was the first time the spell was detailed. It gives everything: description, level, components, casting time, etc. |

| I have a listing of spells that gives which D&D source they first appeared in; the notation for this was DR-A5 p23. |
