I usually like Hat's takes on things but if he's made such egregious errors I'm...not sure I wanna watch this one.I will say, some of the things said here are crossed wires with 5.0 (e.g. the Agonizing/Repelling thing used to be tied to Eldritch Blast specifically), or with the idiotically-named "One D&D" playtest (where Warlocks did not get Eldritch Arcanum naturally and had to waste all of their high-level Invocations on it). So it's possible that he's gotten confused simply because Warlock is the class that's gotten a lot of minor under-the-hood changes.He may also be drawing a very fine distinction between Eldrtich Arcanum and proper actual high-level spell slots. Because, technically speaking, you actually never get spell slots. You get the ability to cast those spells once each day...but those are not spell slots. Good example: A Warlock cannot cast counterspell as a 6th-9th level spell, ever, for any reason, because they don't have 6th-9th level spell slots. Period. Instead, they have what 3e would call a "spell-like ability" which allows them to cast one specific spell of each level 6th-9th, as they gain odd levels 11-17. Not having watched the video, I cannot know for sure if that's what he meant, but I suspect that that's what he's going for with that. What you have is not, properly speaking, "high level spells"--just like how an Invocation that lets you cast spell X once per day without expending a spell slot doesn't technically let you cast that spell in any other way unless it specifically says so.</blockquote>
