ToV Tales of the Valiant, School Resistance question

[James Gasik]

School Resistance, a Feat errata'd from the ashes of Source Resistance, has multiple bullet points, but I'm concerned with the first, which gives you advantage on saves against spells from one of the 8 schools of magic.

My question is, what is the best school of magic to have advantage on saves against?

Hey there

Evocation or Necromancy are good choices to soften the blow from some of the most notorious heavy hitting damage dealing spells in the game (like fireball and finger of death)

Though, if you are playing a barbarian or some other character with low WIS/INT/CHA scores---it might be better to pick a school like Enchantment, so they have a better chance of avoiding being charmed/dominated by all those nasty suites of spells

Does that help?

Yes, thank you!
