He surely doesn't want to argue, that they do not get these from an effective spellcasting level increase via a PrC.      EDIT: Oops, havn't seen, that you already said that... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />   I can only guess, that your DM thinks, wizards are too powerful and therefore is so stubborn... or is such a rules-lawyer, that he is going by the precise wording, not the meaning of it.     It does say, that spells known are gained... it does not say anything about free wizard spells, alth it's pretty clear, that they are equivalent and should be treated like spells known... well, to me at least. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />      Bye    Thanee</blockquote>
