I’m in Act III of my second Karlach playthrough (first playthrough as main, second playthrough as romance). I still don’t know how to throw anything. I should really learn which button does that

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

Is the party grouped? Try hitting g twice to ungroup and regroup

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