It's pretty rare that those spells are top shelf spells.  Out of the ones that are good they tend to be low level spells.  Making them always prepared give those races a bit of a twist on their spell list regardless of what class they are playing. I don't forsee such a thing as a balance concern for a few reasons... First:  Keep in mind that multiclassing lets you prepare spells as both classes so a hypothetical  level 1 wizard/1 artificer with 20 int could prepare/know 6 spells from each list while a 1cleric/1druid with 20 wis again 6 from each list.  If you look at those spell lists there is a ton of overlap that would allow a hypothetical 10/1 split to grab all of their must have first level spells plus a bunch of higher level ones from their more advanced class & nobody is complaining about those characters knowing/preparing lots of spells so there shouldn't be any balance concerns if for example a triton paladin is casting fog cloud & gust of wind occasionally.  Second: I has my players run dragonmark races like that long ago & aside from feeling different from other races in that class  I didn't come across any problems,... Third: What is better, a floating +2/+2  & medium armor or lesser stats & some extra preset spells prepped?</blockquote>
