+1 Spell Level, and Learned Spells

Oogar

First Post
If a Character gains "+1 level of Existing class (spells per day)" as a part of a PrC, they get no other Benefit a character of that class would have gained.

So...

Would an Ex-Sorcerer gain no Learned Spells? That does not seem right.

Does an Ex-Wizard no longer gain his 2 "free" spells per level? Can almost see this, but if the Ex-Sorcerer gets his, then the Ex-wizard should as well.

Now...

Where is this covered in the rules? Have not found it, if it is in an errata or board somewhere, please direct me to that location. I would really like anything that is in print detailing this. Opinions are wonderful things, but looking for something black and white here. Thank you.

The sorcerer's spells learned and the wizard's 2 free spells are part of the "+1 level of existing class." What is not included here are things like the wizard's bonus feats.
 

And so on.

The big problem I have is, in the paranthetical of the "Spells per day" description it says 'And so on'. I was hoping to find an actual page number or posting that gives a quantifiable statement in a rulebook (or errata page) that it is this way. I do not disagree, I was just looking for something specific.

In every section that I look upon, it says the only thing a character gains from this is "the character gains new spells per day as if she had also gained a level in a spellcasting class she belonged to before she added the prestige class. She does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained..." as per page 34 of the DMG and many other books where this ability is a part of a PrC.

I know that some other extreamly anal individual must have taken this up. Can I get a page number or link that will clarify?
 

Monte Cook clarified this on his boards ages ago, so if you do a search there you should be able to find a page number.
I can't remember myself but a friend asked me this once and I seeked and found the same answer as the two people already stated.
