No i understand and am listening to what your telling me. my point is that a 2nd level paladin gets 2 first level spell slots. if you take a DIFFERENT character and make them a 4th level EK they get 3 first level spell slots. putting them together in 1 character is "breaking" their spell slots apart. I dont care if they are 1/2 or 1/3 caster, that means they gain spells slower. it shouldnt mean they LOSE them.
