5E - Requested Rolls

[estrolof]

Have another question I'll try to test when I can. But, thought to put out into the ether.

Concentration is tested with a Constitution saving throw. But, if I send a request to a PC for a Constitution saving throw and they're Concentrating - a Cleric with Bless for example - the saving throw roll doesn't pay attention and affect Concentration. If I damage them, they are prompted to make a Constitution (Concentration) saving throw that can and will (on fail) remove the (C) effect from the concentrating characterand any other characters on whom they applied a (C) tagged effect.

But, unless I'm wrong that only happens from damage. Sending a non-damage triggered Con save is just another save.

But, in 5E, a DM can call for a Concentration save due to environmental reasons. How hard would it be to add Concentration as a save type to the "Request Save" type drop down? Where it *will* ask for a Con save, and *will* impact (C) effects on fail, and the DM can use the existing set DC box like any other save?

Or am I overthinking again and there's an easy existing solve (other than applying damage and then healing it after the (C) save has been adjudicated.

RR does not specifically support asking for rolls to remove concentration automatically.
You can't just add it to save drop down because the ruleset uses slightly different code for the concentration rolls.

No, I gathered that. I was more wondering if that muscle could be added under the hood, so it could be though.

It is possible. I don't think I'll have it in that drop down, but I can probably take a look at this sometime in the next 2 weeks to 6 months. I'm pretty busy at the moment.
