I only take mechanical issues in him consuming only the strongest of items, that you loot in the story. Really hurts giving him a helmet that can turn you invisible.
You should be able to feed him with generic magical items that you either find or buy. Got a random +2 club from a gnoll that im not going to use anyways. +2 enhancement is pretty strong magic in D&D, especially on low levels. Giving it away is because you want to help him out feels like a fair price to pay.
giving up super special named relics on the other hands just feels punishing.

also, why is it, that im level 4 and have more magical stuff than most shops in big cities have laugh like seriously, level 4 and having easily 20+ magic items plus a s-load of elemental arrows, scrolls and potions? Yo what? magic items are supposed to be rare. I think being level 4 in BG1 i had perhaps 2-3 generic +1 weapons and thats it. In BG it was an actualy thing to kill ankegs to have an ankeg armor crafted wich was essentially a non magical plate.


I like Gale and think he is pretty cool but him repeating the same thing over and over again about his condition after I already gave him the The book of Thay(the evil book). Then I picked up a Sword of Justice and decided to give it to Lae'zel and I go to camp and basically he has the same conversation prompts about him having a condition and that I have to trust him without him telling him all the details. Like did he forget that I gave him a book like a half hour ago lol. Plus that Sword of Justice proved vital when I was fighting Lae'zel's people at the mountain pass.
