    \$\begingroup\$ Simple and straightforward. The question title and answer asked (as so often) the opposite question, I edited the title to also match. \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday

    \$\begingroup\$ Aren't most spells instantaneous, so the effects (like DC) set when they are cast? And isn't this kind of complex remembrance of mechanics contrary to the intention of 5e? \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday

    \$\begingroup\$ I used the wrong term. Hunger of hadar has a casting time of 1 action, once it is cast can it still be affected? Concentration keeps it going, but I haven't seen any rules that say a spell can be affected once it is cast (other than dispelling). \$\endgroup\$ Commented yesterday

    \$\begingroup\$ Yep, that would make a good answer here. The reasoning you put here is irrelevant IMO. It is an answer to "Does my spell DC change if I stop holding my focus?" but not to "Does the DC of my ongoing spell change if I stop holding my focus?" \$\endgroup\$ Commented 16 hours ago
