I was making a couple characters for an upcoming game and noticed that some official spells are appearing on the available spells list twice. This is not happening for all classes. I was able to reproduce it with an Eldritch Knight Fighter and a Divine Soul Sorcerer with no homebrew material used. What I find interesting is it is not the same set of spells showing multiple times for each of them. For example, the linked Eldritch Knight has one listing for Light and two for Lightning Lure, but the linked Divine Soul Sorcerer has two for Light and one for Lightning Lure. An existing Bard I had on hand did not have any duplicate spells listed.
I can explain why this happens and why the divine soul can't be fixed in the current system.
In the case of the divine soul, it has the sorcerer and the cleric spell lists. So spells that are on both lists appear twice. The only way to fix this is to add new code to the character builder that removes duplicates (it won't be simple)
The EK and AT have the wizard spell list, but for some reason unknown to me, they started making a spell list for these subclasses. Of course the subclass spell list will be identical to the wizard list. I assume the person making the list eventually noticed this and stopped shortly after starting. But the subclass list/tags remain, so the spells on both lists are duplicated. This can be easily fixed by deleting the unneeded lists/tags and those subclasses will only get the wizard list.
