 === Recruitment ===
-{{UnderConstruction|section}}
+Gale can be recruited as a permanent companion during [[Act One]].
-When approaching the ''Roadside Cliffs'' [[Ancient Rune Circle]], north of the [[Ravaged Beach]], it will appear to be flickering erratically. The player can choose to investigate the circle more closely, or leave it alone. Choosing to investigate the circle has Gale stick his hand out from inside the circle and ask for a helping hand.
-A {{Ability Check|Strength|7}} is required to pull Gale free from the circle. Certain classes have alternative checks they can make instead:

+* Gale can be found when approaching the ''Roadside Cliffs'' [[Ancient Rune Circle]], north of the [[Ravaged Beach]]. If investigated, Gale will stick his hand out from inside the circle and ask for help. A successful ability check is required to pull him out, with multiple options available:
-* (Warlock, Sorcerer, Bard) {{Ability Check|Charisma|7}}
+* {{Ability Check|Strength|7}} — available to all classes
-* (Druid, Cleric) {{Ability Check|Wisdom|7}}

-If the first check is failed, a second can be attempted:
+* {{Ability Check|Dexterity|12}} —available to [[Rogue|Rogues]]
-* If the first check was Strength, the second will be a {{Ability Check|Strength|12}}.
-* If the first check was a class-specific one, the second will be a {{Ability Check|Strength|7}}.
-Succeeding any of the above checks will pull Gale out of the circle, at which point he can be recruited. {{Approval|Wyll|+1}} {{Approval|Karlach|+1}}
+If the first check is failed, a second one can be attempted with increased difficulty:
-<br>Failing two checks, or choosing to leave him to his fate, will mean Gale falls back into the circle and cannot be recruited.
+* {{Ability Check|Strength|12}} — available if the first unsuccessful attempt was a Strength check
+* {{Ability Check|Strength|7}} — available if the first unsuccessful attempt was a class-specific check

-[[The Dark Urge]] has access to an additional option to ''"fantasise about hacking off the hand"''.
