If you want to beef up low-level magic users, giving them wands and scrolls is an excellent way to do it (not least because those are finite resources). I also allow
"special effects", which are very minor cantrip-like effects related to any spells the magic user has memorized.

2. In combat, why would PCs ever declare their action to be "set weapons to receive a charge"...But wouldn't setting weapons to receive a charge be the kind of thing the PCs would only do in RESPONSE to seeing the monsters charge?

Not necessarily. I could certainly see PCs setting weapons against a potential charge before a charge actually took place.
And yet another word from our sponsors
