He, I've made a sorcerer subclass based on something I found in GM Binder. I want to be able to add an expanded spell list for the subclass and so far I've been able to get the spells to be added to the spell list when choosing spells. The problem is that they count against the number of spells known when they are selected. I know it must be possible for the spells to be added in addition to the known spells limitation, such as in the Clockwork Magic sorcerous origin, but I can't figure out how to do this in the homebrew creator.
To add further complication, the subclass has 4 options to choose from at first level which dictates which expanded spell list you get. Similar to how Circle of the Lands Druids work, although of course, they prepare spells were sorcerers don't.
Long story short, is there a way to add an expanded spell list that doesn't count against the number of spells known?

You will have to make 4 options from which they can choose at 1st level and either attach the spells to those options and set them to kick in at the correct levels. You can set them the each “count as spells known” to “no.”
Or, you can make the 4 options and then make different features at the correct levels with the various options and then have those automatically granted based on the initial choice. I explain how to do that here:
