I'd guess that once you decide that Eldritch Blast is equivalent to a first level spell instead of half Warlock level rounded down, you might as well treat it as a LEAST invocation for consistency.If the intent was to make it the only invocation that first level warlocks could know, I'd expect the errata to have updated the starting package on p 10 as well... and it doesn't.</blockquote>
