Phb page 37, on selecting languages, says:

Your character knows at least three languages: Common plus two languages you roll or choose from the Standard Languages table. Knowledge of a language means your character can communicate in it, read it, and write it. Your class and other features might also give you languages.

So your character gets at least three languages and also—so, additionally—what you get from other features like class or background.

Middle name is not a thing where I live. People can have 1 or more given names (I know of people that have 9), but none of these are considered 'middle name'.

Do you really assume that language does not change if there is no AI involved in teaching? Try reading texts from a century – or even 50 years – ago.

I am not an AI fan but your argument is just fearmongering.

I'm no specialist, but (1) don't most solar panels have a fixed inclination and orientation? Depending on the location that will not be as optimal at each day of the year because of the tilt of the earth. (2) The weather/cliimate will have an effect too. Your 2nd image is apparently showing kWh/kWp - so the longer term yield (h=hours) divided by the theoreticall maximum (p=peak). So it shows longer term efficiency , vs the yield at a certain moment like you appear to be focusing on.

The 2024 spell ends immediately if you deal any damage. So, also item damage.

5e RAW, they remain invisible. However, using the tinderbox will make noise so enemies will likely notice that.

In the 2024 rules, dealing damage (even if not by attacking) causes invisibility to end.

NOTE: both versions of the rules (see the oil item description) state that in this scenario, an enemy only takes damage if it enters or ends its turn in the oiled space. Starting their turn in the burning oil does not cause damage, so just moving out of the space will prevent the damage. The lighting of the oil also does not cause immediate damage

So far, I've played three sessions with three different groups. Haven't run into big issues yet. Next session I will be using monsters from the new MM. I'm curious to see how the balancing turns out.

(assuming 5e or newer) You can't true polymorph into Tiamat. The 'aspect of Tiamat' from Fizban's is already CR 30, Tiamat herself is unstatted but obviously more powerful.

As a player character, you can only True Polymorph to a creature of CR 20 or lower

That is what 'automation' often is. You take a working process, then let machines do as many steps in that process as you can. Harvesting crops, sending memos, robots spraypainting car parts, self driving cars (We still have a lot to do there)

Building on that it gets even more interesting as we try to find better, or even completely new processes.

How was this handled in the age of typewriters?

How on earth did English typography get so weird with mdash, ndash, dash, hyphen, etcetera while most of the readers have no clue about the the differences. IMHO, just use dash.

Can you explain me how the different lengths of dash add to the understanding of the text, when I usually don't even see the difference on my mobile phone screen?
