I've been checking this option out, and I can't seem to find an answer to the following questions. I would be grateful if someone could point me in the right direction please.

 

1. Is War Caster the best way to handle the (S) part of the spells if I wanted to use a shield, or would it be just as "easy" to stow or drop the shield? I understand this doesn't help with the (M) portion of casting, but just curious for opinions.

 

2. For spells that require concentration, it specifically says you can't cast another that requires concentration because you can't concentrate on two at once. Could you cast an instant while concentrating on the previous spell without breaking it?

 

 

I apologize if of these are obvious answers, but I am not familiar with casters.

It takes an entire action to don or doff a shield, so that is probably not a good idea. In many cases sheathing a weapon and then drawing it again the next round is viable, though.

 

Casting an instant spell is just fine while concentrating on the previous spell. I assume that no instant spell requires concentration, anyway.
