It's not just monsters who get spellcasting like that. Look at Drow, Tieflings. Look at Shadows and Elements monks. They get spells without spell tables specifying levels.

Certain monsters at any particular CR tend to be lower AC while making up for it in damage or HP or whatever. It seems this is often the case with beasts - which are overly represented in the Basic DM guide, and monstrosities. The slightly tougher and better-armored humanoids (like Hobgoblins)...

Um, general practice casting spells with supervision to prevent calamity. Potentially let him take the Ritual Caster feat down the line. If there are actual sorcerers in the guild they could be all Obi-Wan for him.

I'd guess the Basic Rules will be available from the start..?

Who are you calling totally insignificant?

What about Charisma? He could make up for a low score with social events. Maybe holding some big balls.

A pet-type Druid could be nice. A spell-focused Bard would fill in a gap too. College of Lore is more of a skill-monkey with minor magical addition.

Concentration can't be that demanding, you can continue it while attacking, performing acrobatics, negotiating, disarming taps and so on. It's so easy only damage can break your concentration, or outright unconsciousness.

Alas, alack. Gone so soon, sweet Turnip. A bucket of worms if you prefer.

That's easy, hex your pet awakened turnip between fights.

Reduce then halve. PHB pg 197.

In addition to Hex, Sorcerors can Extend Spell.

Elves might be able to for long rests.

I really like the choices 5E forces for multiclassing. I was considering making a Barbarian -> Rogue (medium armor/shield/Str rapier sneak attacker) multiclass but it's an interesting choice deciding when to swap. At 1 with a single rage and the armor proficiencies? At 2 for Reckless attack and...

Well here in the UK Waterstones (the biggest remaining highstreet book retailer) are stocking the 5E PHB. In theory. As with Amazon UK it never appears to be in stock.

Well I'm considering jumping in on a few Encounters sessions, so the official rules would matter then too.

I expect it will. Hopefully with significant limitations, fingers crossed. Like if such a Belt set Str to 20 and to buff it past that point required a use/day spell-like ability requiring Concentration. Or if it simultaneously lowered one or more other stats, gave a particular damage...

I didn't say that, I said there will be Belts of X Giant Strength in one form or another :) What form they'll take and what requirements they'll have are a separate matter.

Excellent, what kind of farm might I receive?
