Pretty hard to only raise Concentration to a significant degree without also raising Empathy, so I don't think there are any real data one way or the other. To do a real test you'd have to bank at least five or six circles' worth of skills and TDP's so you can compare equal levels of Empathy before and after you raise your circle and stats (and thus your conc).

In any case, speaking generally, Concentration is like a choke or a limiter on the skills and ability it effects. It's the ranks in the skills themselves that determine what you can do, so long as your Concentration pool is filled high enough.

It helps transfer wounds faster. This does seem to cap out around 55-60 circles, or at least by that point transfers are so fast there's not much room for improvement left.

It helps with manipulation. Higher Empathy = harder critters you can manipulate. Does anyone honestly think that manipulate depends on Concentration alone and not Empathy?

It helps with shift options, which is easily proven by CJ's. You've only got the tip of the iceberg for shift options at 50th circle, really.

It helps with perceive health. Sophrona sees people seven or eight rooms away (I forget which). Think about how powerful that is... standing in front of the Crossing Empath guild, you could sense the entire town green and the NE gate at the same time, and nearly everywhere in between. At 50th circle you see two rooms maybe starting three? Perc health becomes a truly extraordinary ability once you can sense four or more rooms away.

Empathy helps with all Empath abilities. There's a lot of improvement after 50th circle.

Wound reduction and the ability to redirect wounds at higher levels of empathy would be very nice.

It's been suggested many times but I've never seen a word on it even being considered :\

It might be a bit safer if a young raccoon was dead first.

>>It seems to me that much of our ability to transfer, transfer more at once, maintain links, and such are all based off Concentration. Which is discipline and circle.

Is there any one race that is better than the others when it comes to concentration?

Future concentration formula will be based off of Discipline, Intel and Stamina in descending order of importance. I don't believe circle will continue to be a factor, but I forget. Dwarf is probably going to be the best for that with their stat set-up. Something to keep in mind, but if I were a bettin man, I'd say we won't see it too terribly soon.

Current concentration formula per Soim. (Circle + 1) x [(disc/10) + 1] = Concentration. So Dwarf and Rakash.

Zeyurn says, "Concentration will be based off of Discipline, Intelligence, and Stamina."
Zeyurn says, "Circle won't play a part."
Zeyurn says, "Stamina is the smallest factor, Discipline the largest."
