Rogue w / Sorcerer Archetype -- Need Help Understanding My Spell Level Scaling

[BlackAtome]

So my group has been playing Pathfinder for 3 months after transitioning our campaign from DnD. So I'm adjusting to the new rules to put this plainly and maybe I'm missing something.

Anyway, my character is a rogue, who dedicates through story at level to toward a Shadow Sorcerer. Later, I plan to dedicate to Shadow Dancer at Level 8.

The problem that I'm facing is that when using a pathfinder character builder, I'm not seeing the granted spells that I should have access to. To be clear, when building out my character, I macro build from 20 and get an idea of where I want the character to end up, and micro adjust as we level through play.

I can see my cantrip and first 2 granted spells just fine. Anything after the 3rd granted spell does not appear in my occult list for integration to my repertoire. Again, I'm looking at this from a level 20 perspective. Ultimately, I would have up to level 6 spell casting ability. In my thought, I should be able to at least get to "Collective Transposition" before I'm limited by archetype capping.

Any insight is appreciated. Currently in play at level 4.

it would help if you pasted the pathbuilder link, but from an initial impression, since you can see up to 3rd level spells, I have to ask:

have you taken "Expert sorcerer spellcasting" feat from the sorcerer archetype?

in general spellcasting archetypes follow a similar progression: a basic spellcasting feat at 4th granting up to 3rd, an expert spellcasting feat at 12th granting up to 6th, and a Master spell casting feat at 18th granting up to 8th.

Sorcerer Dedication doesn't automatically add bloodline spells to your repertoire. Yes, you have access to them, but you have to pick them specifically.

Also, look over the Spellcasting Archetype rules. You need Basic, Expert, and Master Spellcasting to get more spells, and Bloodline Breadth to get more than one slot per spell level.

You might also temporarily set your character to level 20 in the app. That will have everything available at that level be accounted for.

You can put it back to level 4 when it is time to actually play.

This is typically what I do. See my link in my reply to [shroudb] to check it out.

Thanks for the insight. To be clear I have Basic, Expert, and Master. Initially, I only had Expert but after doing some consideration, I thought it better to get level 8 spells as well. Here is a link to a copy of my character. Appreciate you taking a look.

Edit: After doing some refreshing of feats and adding Master Spellcaster, I'm able to see all of the granted spells for my bloodline except the 3rd level "chilling darkness". Not sure what happened in allowing me to see the granted spells. I'm sure the addition of master was not the cause.
