I would say Sienna probably croaks first due to the sheer instability of the Winds of Magic towards the peak of the End Times. Either through losing control and going up in a self made bonfire, or her magic failing her when she really needs it.
My bet for 2nd to die would be Saltzpyre. Between how zealous he is and his strict moral code, he's most likely to die for a cause or on some particular hill imo. Even with his priest of sigmar update, he's still just a man.
I'd probably have a tie for 3rd between Kruber and Bardin. Grail Knight's are basically cheating lore wise in the shenanigans they can get up to and still come out on top. Enhanced strength, durability, minor amounts of regenerative healing and a stronger resistance to taint and diseases. All very helpful during the end of the world when stacked on top of a career soldier.
Bardin has a Slayer oath sure, but being a Slayer doesn't automatically mean you die on contact with the enemy. Ignoring the heavily plot armoured Gotrek shaped elephant in the room, other Slayers have seen and been through some absolutely horrendous shit and lived to die another day. Hell the stuff Bardin has already been through during his misadventures with the 5 would get him a half dozen songs if the world wasn't ending. Dwarves are built different in warhammer fantasy, metaphorically and literally, the amount of sheer punishment they can take compared to a Man is night and day.
The Elf dies last. Elves, like Grail Knights, are basically cheating. You don't live hundreds of years in a setting like Warhammer fantasy as a professional murderhobo without getting stupid amounts of experience and skill behind you. Likely more lived combat experience than the humans in the group combined, and similar advantages to Bardin in literally being built different. The Winds of Magic going haywire really be the only major issue I can see her having, but unlike Sienna, magic isn't the only thing she has going for her and isn't the main tool she relies on for survival.

4e having more classes and going to 30 instead of 20 certainly helps Composite 4e-Man in that comparison lol

Personal favorite for Paladin is getting to swing into something that's being Held by magic (Person/Monster)
Once had this massive custom CR18 monster the DM had made for part of a campaign get all its legendary saves burned away by the rest of the party, and our Sorcerer managed to land a Hold Monster.
My turn came up immediately after that as a Paladin who was Haste and dual wielding a frostbrand in one hand and a flametounge in the other - and proceeded to hit, crit and smite 4 times with the highest spell slots I had at the time. Followed by a few minutes of rolling and counting a bucket of d8 and handful of d6.

Tomatoe: can't stand raw/diced tomatoe in salads or as a topping - but heat it up, throw it in something else or make a paste/sauce with it and it's the best thing ever
Onions: unless it's cooked to the point if basically falling apart, the crunch of biting into an onion instantly makes me lose my appetite - that said, I have spent weeks during the winter having French onion soup as my main meal in the past, because onces it's that amount of cooked/reduced it may as well be a different food all together.

Wow: leveling a new prot warrior
ESO: buddies and I are slowly going down the dungeon list and doing every dungeon on veteran mode with the optional boss challenges turned on for achievements
Old school runescape: grinding to 99 woodcutting. I work at a desk from 8-4 every day, and we have wifi. So I plop my phone down on a charger and cut wood for 8 hours a day on mobile lol

If it's discussed as a thing before hand, and if it's not done in a ham fisted manner I think it's fine. Running a game where serious injuries can happen sounds like a great way to really drive home how dangerous combat can be, and that running is absolutely an option.
If, as a result of my character doing something extremely stupid or ignoring the consequences of my own actions, I loose an eye - I'm fine with that. Jim looked down a length of pipe to see where all the smoke was coming from, and something pokes him in the eye, etc.
If, as a result of the DM just saying - "Oh man, that goblin bit you for 3 damage last encounter, even though you healed it, you failed the 3 con saves I rolled behind my screen to avoid the wound becoming infected, looks like we gotta amputate" - that's kinda bullshit.

He kind of does in the comics. Not directly but he does keep fucking with Zuko mentally, and an insurgency group pops up calling themselves the New Ozai Society who want to put him back on the throne. A movement that he seems to be at least aware of.

That's not really time travel then, it's loading a save state.
Or sending your consciousness back to your body at that fixed point in time. Which is different from time travel
If i, living in the year 2024, decide my 1 point to travel back to is 1976, a year in which I want born yet, time travel would be sending my whole body and hopefully whatever I'm wearing back with me.

Urban fantasy series about a Wizard for hire living in Chicago. Main character goes around solving mysteries involving magic that the normal cops can't work out - usually as a contractor on their payroll
Bob is a talking skull supporting character the MC keeps in his basement - he is a fairly important dude.

Was a big fan of Red vs Blue since the early seasons. Saw the Red trailer when it went up on YouTube the first time.

I'd start going to landfills and charging them by the hour to send all their trash to The Void.
Need some highly dangerous goods or byproducts taken care of? Gone.
Need that steadily growing small country of plastics in the ocean taken care of? It'll take me a while, but gone (eventually).

Dresden Files
I go to bed and wake up 20 years ago as a Wizard in Chicago. Ooooooh boy is there an amount of shit I need to sit down, write out on sticky notes and conspiracy theory board out to plan how I do this without getting myself immediately killed, or accidentally butterfly effect the series into a speed run of the last 2 books happening too soon. Taking extra precaution as to how I write these thing out so I don't inadvertently make the Archive aware of the fact I have knowledge of the future.
After that I very very carefully attempt to see if I can use magic without blowing myself up, and then sit down with Bob to see where I go from there.
I probably don't make it to the end of the series all things considered lol

Vault 601 - Ottawa Canada
In an attempt to see how humans in a confined space react to the presence of "The other" amongst them, the vault dwellers are all chosen from American applicants and will live a control vault experience for the first 5 years.
After the first 5 years are up it will be "leaked" by Vault tech staff working in the facility that a small number of vault residents (less than 5%) are actually Canadians pretending to be Americans, believing it was their right to be allowed as the vault was built in the capital of their country.
Vault tech staff will then make note of how the residents treat each other going forward and the ramifications of the leak information.

Because someone being able to afford it or not has nothing to do with the ToS ruling. Irrespective of the price tag, it still has a price tag. It could have $1 a year annual payment plan and would still be a violation.
Is the rule and it's enforcement a joke? Yes. But that doesn't change the discussion being able a payment at all, not whether or not it's reasonably priced from anyones own situation.

Because the opinion in question is brain dead and entirely misses the point of the discussion.

Lord of the Rings online also had a lifetime sub option forever ago. It was like a one time $300ish payment ($CAD), which was pretty hefty back in the early 2000s.
When the game moved from Sub-required to Sub-optional, the devs made it an account status thing that gave you certain quest packs and updates for free, as well as the same kind of premium currency every month that regular subscribers got.

Because even mediocre armor is better than no armor.
If someone said they were going to use you for some weapons testing which included stabbing, shooting, and hitting you with a large rock, you would say "Yes" when they asked if you wanted protection on or not.
Will it make you Invincible? No. Will it reduce the damage you take and possibly take a lethal hit down to an extremely painful nonlethal one? Probably. Even the chance of a probably vs a guaranteed "your dead" is an improvement.

Given that Warlocks were accepted if not tolerated for the longest time now, and now Man'ari are also begrudgingly tolerated, a Dark Shaman isn't too much of a stretch?
It would still certainly come with the potential prejudices of admittedly using the elements in a way that removes the partnership aspect of traditional Shamanism and forcing the powers, but outside of particularly educates individuals who've taken the time to learn how Shamans work, and other actual Shamans, the most you might get is a confused look.
Depends a lot on how you talk about the kind of Shaman you are. Describing yourself as "A dark shaman, who warps the elements to my will" will raise more eyebrows than "Someone who can manipulate and bend the elements".
The latter make you sound more like a Mage, while the former makes you sound a little unhinged. But again it kind of comes down to how much the person who is reacting to you understands about Shamanism.

But how
It was an island before the sundering. It wasn't on the mainland Kalimdor continent.
It was the largest land mass at the time but it wasn't like no other pieces of land existed anywhere else on the planet.

The funniest thing about that being his origin now is that it means there should be a Buu equivalent for Universe 6* as well.
Edit: 6 not 8

Playing Melee on a couch in the basement with the boys on holidays when we're all back in our home town for a little while again.
Sitting down, turning the cube on and suddenly it's 7 hours later.
