As the title suggests I'm having an issue with the character builder.
After exiting out of the builder having selected my spells, upon reentering the builder, it shows that I now know too many spells. I've removed all spells learn and it's still showing the number of spells known as equal to the number of cantrips know.
That should be the one. I did notice that when looking at "manage spells" it has an asterisk that says 4 spells from class features, do those count against your spells known? I would have thought class feature spells would be in additional to your base spell selection.
This isn't your cantrips counting against known spells, this is a limitation with how magical secrets interacts with your known spells.
Spells learned through magical secrets count against your know spells count. However, they don't subtract from that count until you select them. This means it's possible to select your maximum number of spells before you select your magical secrets spells, then go over your know spells count by selecting your magical secrets spells. This is a limitation of the character builder due to the same number being modified on two different tabs (class features and spells).
To fix this, you will need to remove 4 spells from your known spells to make space for the 4 spells you've learned through magical secrets.

Any ideas on how to fix this issue?
