You can take Basic Wizard Spellcasting. If the nexus character builder doesn't allow it, then the nexus character builder is wrong. You might file a bug report with nexus, through whatever method they have, or simply not use their tool.

Thank you! That's what I thought but I figure the official tools would be right, so it was driving me mad! I'm also switching over from D&D 5e, so some things still make my head spin.

Building a character in the nexus character builder, I would assume my gunslinger spellshot can take basic wizard spellcasting. But, basic wizard spellcasting says I do not meet the prerequisite. This confuses me becasue of what is stated in the spellshot dedication feat. "This counts as the wizard archetype for the benefits of Basic Wizard Spellcasting."

If I am unable to take the basic wizard spellcasting feat, how can I realize those benefits, and since I don't get spells without going that route, what does spellshot actually give me here?

Do i need to take wizard dedication as well? If so, what's the point of stating the benefits in the spellshot dedication, since I will get those benefits with the wizard dedication? those benefits from spellshot dedication don't seem to be functional from what I'm reading. What am I missing here?
