Our current ToA campaign is progressing well so far.
Our party has reached Omu without a single casualty, the best NPC guide ever(Eku) and a kickass bodyguard robot for the sorcerer. We are currently in the process of gathering the puzzle cubes that will unlock the titular tomb, got 4 so far. However, the combat and traps are becoming far deadlier than usual and I fear a character death or even a TPK is in the near future. So I want to make a backup, just to be sure. Since I'm the frontliner currently, I'll probably be in the same role.
I've got a character concept for a fallen aasimar conquest paladin with a divine soul sorcerer MC down the line. Now since we're level 7, I have a choice to make - do I get the fear aura or a sorc level. Are the enemies we will encounter (both in our current location and in the tomb) going to be immune to fear? Don't tell me exactly what they are, a simple yes/no/mostly/a few will suffice.
I figure we'll be fighting mostly undead and constructs in the tomb and that would make the aura pretty useless, but I can't be sure.
We know for a fact we'll be fighting yuan-ti soon. Does their resistance to magic apply to the fallen aasimar racial or the fear from channel divinity? I have the rest of the character pegged (backstory, personality, stats, all that jazz), it's just the minutiae of when to switch to sorcerer that's bugging me. Can someone who is familiar with ToA please answer the above questions so I can make up my mind? Thank you.
