Hi everybody... I have a question in regard to spell allotments in the magic-user experience table and I hope some of you could help me to solve it (maybe Frank Mentzer himself ?).
In the Expert rules, a magic-user obtains 3 first level spells at 6th level. In the AC2 (D&D Combat shield) it's the same, but in the AC7 (D&D Master player screen) and in the Rules Cyclopedia, he gets only 2 first level spells at 6th level.
So, what is correct at 6th level? 2 first level spells or 3 first level spells ?
Thanks in advance ^^

Hi, thanks I found it but it don't answer to my question about the 6th level.
But I found another errata on Dragonsfoot, and it is more complete (it says in fact that we must follow what is in the second impression of the BECMI Expert set).

Aaron Oliver is a friend and has compiled vast amounts of errata & corrigenda in the BECMI line. Trust his research.
