Starting Spellbook and Diminished Spellcasting help

[raithe000]

I'm creating an archetype that gives a custom class alchemist casting, but with 1 less spell per day than usual. I've run into two problems:

First, I can't get diminished spellcasting working. When I enter the number of spells available in the spellcasting details section, it removes the 0 per day ones, which means that the archetype can't prepare spells in those slots even if the character has a high enough bonus to get bonus spells of that level. I've tried checking diminished spellcasting and giving an extra spell per level to fix it, but that doesn't work and I can't find an archetype that does this to copy.

Second, I can't get the starting spellbook to show up. I've copied an alchemist's and pointed the target to the new class, but it still doesn't pop up when I attempt to use it. I've searched the forums for answers, but other than that suggestion none of the posts go into details.

If anyone can help with either issue, I'd greatly appreciate it!
