![]() My position right now is that it does, but if the caster drops it, nothing changes. The primary point of contention appears to be around whether the Conjure Elemental still requires concentration. I pretty sure I got Planar Binding correct – the elemental should be sticking around for 24 hours. ![]() I will not continue it more in the RAW thread, but the OP should know that this is a realm of dispute, and I do not agree that the interpretation above is RAW.I did a fair bit of digging before posting the answer, so I’m interested to hear where I might have gone wrong. But any more on this should have its own thread, or try and search around for an old one where more people make this argument and do thread necromancy. Planar binding is replacing the old duration with the one stated in its effects, and says NOTHING about the concentration, thus it removes the requirement. There are multiple assertions going around about how the Concentration part is part of the duration, and if it's not mentioned, then it isn't there. The caster of Planar Binding is now controlling it and will continue to do so until the full 24 hour duration of the spell has elapsed. The line in Conjure Elemental about “An uncontrolled elemental can't be dismissed by you, and it disappears 1 hour after you summoned it,” doesn’t apply because the elemental isn’t uncontrolled. It can be lost and it won’t affect anything. As it turns out, it doesn’t actually matter that is still requires Concentration. If the elemental that Planar Binding is cast upon fails its Charisma saving throw, then the duration of Conjure Elemental is extended to 24 hours and still requires Concentraion. To answer your original series of questions, let us take a situation where your druid maintained concentration on Conjure Elemental (say for example, your wizard friend is the one to cast Planar Binding instead). A128: Your druid would lose concentration on Conjure Elemental when they began the 1 hour casting time of Planar Binding because long casting times require concentration (PHB pg 202).
