Yeah I knew dd was at 7 but I figured the 9th was for the extra pact spell and 1 more eldritch blast dice. I do like the occasional evard's but it's not as important as the rest of warlocks abilities (cone+2 blasts). Then again, why not.
That's weird, druid was introduced before warlock. Thought the order was original classes alphabetically, monk, fvs, arti, druid, warlock.
Had to check quick and you're right!
