[QUOTE="Obliza, post: 7497423, member: 6915561"] [B][SIZE=3]Spell School Suggestion[/SIZE] [/B]Considering the campaign will not go beyond 4th - 5th, that doesn't leave many useful options. [B]War Magic [/B]Arcane Deflection & Tactical Wit are both great. [B]Evocation [/B]Possibly the best option, sculpting spells to avoid harm seems thematically appropriate. [B]Enchantment [/B]Hypnotic Gaze is a useful damage free disable but its on a long rest. [B]Divination[/B] Potent is Potent. [B]Abjuration[/B] Arcane ward fits with a defensive style. [B]Bladesinging [/B]Can't complain about Bladesong.
