I'm jumping into a friend's campaign tonight on short notice and we worked it out that the best option for the party is to come in as a fighter at level 3. I am interested in playing and Eldritch Knight, so I rolled a new character. Human non-variant (to fit into the campaign, recognizing there might be better races), with stats after bonuses as follows: STR 16, DEX 11, CON 16, INT 15, WIS 9, CHA 9. I picked the Dueling fighting style. I advance the character to Level 3 and the Martial Archetype becomes available, but Eldritch Knight never appears in the dropdown. At this point, the only four choices are CR Gunslinger, Champion, UA Psi Knight, and UA Rune Knight.
I have tried different fighting styles. I have created different characters with different races. I added all of the allowed Sources on the first screen of the character creation page (hence why I now have CR and UA options). For whatever reason, I can never get Eldritch Knight to appear.
What am I doing wrong? I have a decent amount of D&D experience and DM a campaign, but I am not an expert and I have never played a fighter so I might be missing something obvious.
Ignore this. I realized that I had access to PHB in one campaign shared by the DM, but this is a different campaign so I had to purchase the PHB for myself. Now that I have made the purchase, I have access to EK in the Martial Archetype dropdown.

Any and all help is appreciated!
