I just leveled up to level 8 with my paladin, but I see no 3rd or 4th level spells available to learn when I think she should have two 4th level spell slots? I'm not super sure about the spell slot system so I could have this wrong, but if not, anyone know why I can't learn any higher level spells?
(non-multiclassed) Full-caster spellcasting classes get spell slots every other level: 1st at Level 1, 2nd at Level 3, 3rd at Level 5, 4th at Level 7.
Paladins are half-casters, which means it takes twice as many levels to reach those higher-level slots: 2nd at Level 5, 3rd at Level 9. So you'll gain 3rd-level slots when you hit Paladin 9.

Ah I see, thank you! I am still learning about the spell system, the main thing confusing me was that Daylight, 3rd level, was listed in my spells, but I realized that's only because I have a Driftglobe and I can only use it to light that. Well, excited that I'll get 3rd level slots at the next level up!
Thanks!! :D
