Gale may be mocked because ageism is alive and well in this world, and he is arguably the most mature member of the party before Jaheira. I respec him to be my cleric ASAP so that he can stay with me throughout. He's my Durge's voice of reason because she's so clueless. (This is probably a recipe for disaster but it will be a fun ride.)
Sh***yfart and Karlach never leave camp in my game because ain't nobody got time for annoying teenage girls. Halsin seems so nice at first, but after reading how disgusting he is once he becomes a companion, he can also stay in camp and amuse the girls with his slutty tricks.
If Jaheira doesn't have Sleight of Hand I'll respec her once I can recruit her so I can dump Mr. Twilight in camp as well.
Signed, a cranky old female gamer.
