D&D 5E Warlock slot levels - typo?

[sunrisekid]

I don't know if anyone else has already posted on this. p106, Slot Level caps at 5th level but the warlock spell list goes up to 9th. I'm thinking the chart has a typo. Based on progression I'm guessing it should like this:

LEVEL SLOT LEVEL
11th 6th
12th 6th
13th 7th
14th 7th
15th 8th
16th 8th
17th 9th
18th 9th
19th 9th
20th 9th

What do you think? Wizard and Sorcerer gets 9th level spells at 17th level, too.

You don't get higher-level spells through the usual short rest slots. There's a specific class feature that gives them 1 daily spell to cast from each higher level.

Can you explicitly point to the feature you are referring to, please, because I don't what it is...

The Slot Level column serves two functions, indicating not only the literal slot level but also what level of spells are available to the warlock when levelling up. This is how I understand it.

For example, a freshly level 6 warlock can choose a new spell from the 3rd level spell list.

"A spell you chose must be of a level no higher than what's show in the table's Slot Level column for your level." (p107, bottom-left paragraph)

Look at the 11th level (and higher) warlocks. According to the chart, they learn no spells higher than 5th level, however, Ch.11 shows warlock spell lists up to 9th.

Oooooh, I get it now, I didn't read that feature close enough first time through. Ok, thanks for clearing that up for me!
