I took resil: wisdom on my barb

[Dork_Forge]

Your campaign is higher difficulty, i.e. higher DCs. That you only failed by one means the feat would have resulted in a success in a less difficult campaign.

The missing by 1 was about the attack they made, not passing a Wis save DC. OP had two examples from their first game where the -1 to Str was noticeable, and that was their issue not that their new Wis save modifier wasn't high enough.

The conflict more seemed to be 'this is a statistical outlier but it sucked and whilst it's only a +1 to Str missing, Str is a stat I'll use as a Barbarian every turn, where as Wis saves are less frequent and out of my control anyway.'
