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.


That was also the case in BG 1. By lv4, you had several magic item on all of your companion. By the end of the game, you were a walking treasure chest.

As for Gayle, its his unique traits. While it may be annoying, it the price to pay to play the wizard. There will be other companions, if you don't like this one.
