The gnolls with hyenas are very tough. They are probably the toughest thing before you go to the Underdark or into the mountain pass

Based on my DnD 5e experience, wizards like Gale come into their power once they get the Fireball spell, which happens at 5th level. Burning Hands is ok at lower levels but it tends to put the wizard in harm's way

Your party balance sounds reasonable. Better armor and higher constitution will help your paladin tank more over time

Keep going. It'll get easier and feel more natural over time

Superman stopping a falling airplane by pressing on its nose has been a standard superhero comics scene for 70 years

Thanks Disney. Good job having bought all the studios

Not sure if you are trolling, but no

Meta is joining the Fediverse not because it needs the people currently on the Fediverse, but because it needs a regulatory figleaf to protect itself from monopoly charges. At Meta's scale, there are 0 users on the Fediverse right now. There is no market benefit to getting Fediverse people to move to Meta

What Meta gets out Threads/Fediverse compat is that suddenly Instagram is not technically a walled garden with platform lock-in, so while the number of people who'll migrate from Instagram Threads to the Fediverse is going to be tiny they suddenly look a lot less like a mean monopoly to regulators

At some point they might remove the Fediverse compat. The people currently screaming about embrace-extend-and-extinguish because Meta is joining will then scream about bait-and-switch even though they've had Threads defederated the whole time. The Fediverse will still be there. That's the cycle of life

Removing things is not sufficient for removing bias. Omission is a kind of bias. You can lie by cherry-picking just some of the truth and skipping the rest

They set it for me in Canada, so they are lying there

I like my 2012 electric stove. I don't notice any difference in cooking experience when I use my parents' gas stove at their place, except the flames require more aggressive ventilation

Youtube should have never removed the maximum 10 minutes limit on videos in 2010

Could be worse. Could be a party with your cleric, Shadowheart, and two cleric hirelings

Are refurbished units not the result of a repair?

That's the same argument as arguing as Canada doesn't have to do anything about climate change because China and India can fix it on their own with their bigger population. We have to make some changes on the individual level to be good role models and to pressure those same corporations

Statute of limitations. Fleeing the country is a great trick if you can manage it. Roman Polanski had the same idea
