BA, I noticed something when my son and his friend made a warlock/legerdemainist.

They both have 2 spells at first level but at first level they should start with only 1 spell.

However, since I'm cribbing from HET2 and those are for NPCs it is conceivable that they could have taken the time to learn another 1st level spell.

I will be modifying my PC generating app to only have 1 spell at 1st level (and make up some lists specific to fire lord/thief, ice lord/thief, death soldier, and mountebank).

Just thought I would pick your brain about that.

No quad classing. My son had a fire lord that died in the last session and his next character was a fire thief.

His friend has a warlock.

I just noticed that when i created their character sheets via my web app they all had the same 2 spells at 1st level: dash and jump.

So I showed them the relevant spell lists (pyromancer for the fire lord/thief and magician for the warlock).

The reason they can cast two spells is because of the bonus from having a 13 intelligence. The reason they have two different spells is because I thought that was more interesting than giving them something like magic missile x2.

(As you probably surmised, I made them all "generic" warlocks, legerdemainists, and shamans to simplify the alignment situation. This stuff was complicated enough as it was.)

FYI a similar situation exists with the shaman's spells at 1st and 2nd level.

Also, some classes have the opposite situation: e.g., a 1st level magician would actually have three spells in his book, but only two are listed because that's all he can cast. Additionally, I ignored bonus spells for having a familiar. I really was mainly trying to create a quick and dirty way to fill out NPC parties.
