If more than one type of distraction is present, make a check for each one any failed Concentration check indicates that the task is not completed. If the distraction occurs while you are trying to cast a spell, you must add the level of the spell you are trying to cast to the appropriate Concentration DC. The table below summarizes various types of distractions that cause you to make a Concentration check. A skill use also fails, and in some cases a failed skill check may have other ramifications as well. If you were using a spell-like ability, that use of the ability is lost. If you were directing a spell, the direction fails but the spell remains active. If you were concentrating on an active spell, the spell ends as if you had ceased concentrating on it.

If you were in the process of casting a spell, the spell is lost. If the check fails, the action automatically fails and is wasted. If the Concentration check succeeds, you may continue with the action as normal. In general, if an action wouldn’t normally provoke an attack of opportunity, you need not make a Concentration check to avoid being distracted. Such actions include casting a spell, concentrating on an active spell, directing a spell, using a spell-like ability, or using a skill that would provoke an attack of opportunity.

You must make a Concentration check whenever you might potentially be distracted (by taking damage, by harsh weather, and so on) while engaged in some action that requires your full attention.
