I'm making a homebrew Oath for my campaign, and based my efforts here on DnDBeyond on the Ancients Oath. For the Oath Spells, I want my PC to have 2 "always prepared" spells available to them like they would with any other Oath at the appropriate levels. The Ancients template's Oath Spells page doesn't seem to have anything to challenging to it, I just swapped the spells out that I wanted to and on the Basic Info page made sure the spells listed for Additional Specific Spells were the ones I wanted always prepared.
Two things: 1) none of these spells are listed as "always prepared" on my PC page. The Ancients template didn't do this, but I went into Oath Spells > Spells > added each spell with the option of "always prepared" = YES and "counts against known spells" = NO, and that didn't do what I wanted it to do either. And
2) On the character creator page for Class, under Oath Spells, it presents me with 5 options – each corresponding to the level when new Always Prepared spells would be acquired, but forcing the PC to choose between one of the two spells and not giving them both! My default Ancients test paladin doesn't have this, it just says "Oath Spells" and provides the information. Moreover, my test PC is marked as Level 3 – so, they shouldn't be seeing these level 5 etc options presented for that reason as well.
I'm having a similar problem where with my homebrew paladin class, all of the oath spells are appearing at level 3, when they're supposed to appear at the listed levels. I had them in the "Additional Specific Spells" row of the general class features before I tried to remedy the issue myself, and it didn't work. So, the FAQ won't work for me. Plz help.
