For example, a 4th level Eldritch Knight has the slots of a 2nd level caster: 3 1st level slots per day. But if he multiclasses to Paladin at 5th level, he'll count as a 4/3 => 1st level caster from Eldritch Knight, and a 1/2 => 0th level caster from Paladin, therefore he is a 1st level caster with only 2 spell slots per day.The reason is because the 1/3 caster spell tables round up, not down, but the official multiclassing rules tell you to round down. Either you live with this paradox as one of the downsides of multiclassing, or else you houserule it to be more sensible and round 1/3 casters up. Then the EK 4/Paladin 1 would keep his three 1st level slots.</blockquote>
