I see under the Concentration description that it requires a Concen. check for redirecting a spell, such as Spiratual Weapon to a new target.

I can't seem to find in the rules what the DC is for doing so.

Can someone explain and post the new page where they deduced the answer/information please?

Ok, bump...

On page 69, bottom right column, is says, "Such actions include... directing a spell (such as spiritual weapon)..."

Page 170 explains Concentration but no mention of directing spells...

Can someone help?

You only need to make a concentration check if you are distracted while directing a spiritual weapon spell. If you aren't distracted, there's no check. If you _are_ distracted, the table provides the DCs you need.

Ok, then does redirecting a spell provoke an AoO?

Otherwise, why else would you be distracted except for extreme weather/rough transportation?

Continuous damage or a readied attack

Or possibly a non-damaging spell.

If it requires Concentration, yes. See page 306 of the PH. Note that spiritual weapon does not have the concentration descriptor (implosion does).

No.​

Spell Descriptions :: d20srd.org

Aiming A Spell:​

"Some spells allow you to redirect the effect to new targets or areas after you cast the spell. Redirecting a spell is a move action that does not provoke attacks of opportunity."
