Seeker95 03-26-06, 02:13 PM	Ynvaar is correct. I offer this as an expansion on what is meant when Ynvaar mentioned the paladin and ranger, who begin most of their spell access with a 0-spells per day entry. You cannot fill a bonus slot until the number of spells-per-day of a given spell level listed for the class is something other than "-". So, for example, if the number of spells per day listed for a given spell level is "0" you could use the bonus spell slots for that spell level.
