Hello everybody,

I have been spending the last 2 hours trying to figure out how to make this Expanded Spell List for my Hexblade Warlock and since I do not own XGtE I thought I might as well homebrew the Subclass. I had made the table and I then went to add a spell. I will use the first 2 spells you get at 1st Level as an example. This is what I selected. 'Add A Spell' ---> 'Spell' (Shield, Wrathful Smite), 'Spell Level' (1), 'Spell Class' (Warlock), 'Ability Score' (Charisma), 'Consumes Spell Slot' (Yes), 'Counts As Known Spell' (Yes), 'Always Prepared' (Yes). 

The problem is that when I go and check my character I realise that the spells are not 'Always Prepared' and when I go to the Character Builder it also gives me an option to select a spell but in the class features part, not in spells. I am not sure if I have to wait a couple of minutes for it to catch up or something. If you know what the problem is please tell me.

Two things:

1. Warlock subclass spells are not “always prepared,” they only get added to the regular list of spells from which a Warlock can learn.
2. The correct way to add them is in the “additional specific spells” field under “basic information.”

 🤦 Are you serious? 

Thanks anyway for letting me know.

As always, happy to help.
