D&D 5E No stat minima for spells?

[Barcellos]

No more extra spells for high int our i am miss something ?

The benefits of mage armour do not stack with armour proficiency, right? So the build is equally effective with half-orcs!

Your Dwarf wizard can now wear half plate. Who needs mage armor!

As soon as he can prepare two spells, he will wear both mage armour and half plate. For added protection, you see.
When he explains this, he will tap his nose as if sharing a clever trick.

I'm thinking Folk Hero for a background.

High int doesn't let you cast more spells but does let you prepare more spells - so much greater versatility especially at lower level.

At 1st level: A 6-11 Int wizard gets to prepare 1 spell (assuming a 1 spell minimum).

An 18 Int wizard gets to prepare 5.

So you can prepare them, but not cast them?

I kid. Yes, you can cast more spells. Extra prepared slots = extra spells castable.

Sweet ! Can wait to play with this " sorcerer-wizard" hehe

Though he's a sacrelige to me in so many ways (Dwarf Wizard? Arcane casting in armour?), this Dwarf sounds like my kind of character!

You get more prepared spells, not more spell slots.

5E does not use traditional Vancian casting. It's a Vancian/spontaneous hybrid. In 3E terms, you're a sorceror with the option to change your list of spells known once per day. Higher Intelligence means you get more spells known, but your number of spell slots stays the same.

Ugh... I need to read better... Nothing to see here...

Hm, nixing stat minima really opens up multicalss opportunities (by lessening MAD). As long as you kinda avoid spells that require attack rolls or saves.

Fraid not - at least per RAW.

While there are no minimum stat requirements to begin a class, there are requirements to multiclass into a new one (P.56 of the Basic rules) and you must meet both the requirements for your current class and the one you wish to take. Don't know what those requirements are yet as they will be in the PHB.
