• BG3 companions (and others) with a disabled Tav •

AN+Warnings: I come to bring you some comforting headcanons <3. Some specific incidents, but not super in depth, I tried to keep them more general. Safe for everyone, written by Mishwanders, please do not repost. Reblogs, nice comments, and likes are appreciated!

Gale

food sensitivity or have a feeding tube? Never fear my dear, for Gale will keep a look out for things that you can have while on your journey, will even make yours separate from the others so not to cause any cross contamination.

However, he will have tons of questions, just so he can get it right so prepare yourself for those.

Which will then lead him to looking for it in literature so he can learn about your condition as much as possible.

Truly the finest nurse you could have in the wilds of the fae-realms. Will even sit with you and read books to/with you if you so wished.

Astarion

Anemic? POTS? He’s quick to catch symptoms you might be experiencing. That dexterity especially comes in the clutch to catch you if you grow dizzy or faint.

However, he’s like a worried hen after that, even if he does try to play it off as being level headed and having the situation totally under control (he doesn’t).

If you tell him what you need though for those instances (salt, meds, etc.), be sure they’re always in his bag if they’re not in yours.

He may not be the biggest person on details, but be sure that these are details he WILL notice because he can’t have his fearless leader out for the count forever.

Karlach

Hard time moving across the vast distance of the world? She will stay by your side until you are ready to move again and will even carry any of your mobility aids just in case you need them on the way.

Hells, she even offers to carry you the moment she realizes you’re in pain.

She gets it, when she’s burning hot, it is hard to go on and forces her to slow down too. So she’ll tell you to take all the time you need if you need to stop and rest.

Also a wonderful companion to stick around if you’re susceptible to the cold or have muscle aches because she’s so warm. Is willing to cuddle to keep you warm and ease the aches and pains (please cuddle with her oh my god she’d be so happy about that).

Wyll

He's disabled too, so he’d definitely lend a listening ear when things get rough and will do what he can to help you alleviate symptoms or even take on extra chores to help out.

He’s also one of the first to defend your honor if anyone has anything nasty to say against you or your disability if you want/need it.

He realizes it’s not always a means to draw blades over, but he knows how to tango his way with words through snobby high society in Baldur’s Gate or even with the most eloquent of goblins or devils.

The blade of the Frontier/Avernus is always ready whenever you need him.

Shadowheart

This girl knows chronic pain - that damn mark in her hand is always causing her problems.

If you’re both experiencing chronic pain, it will definitely make her see you in a new, better light and help you grow closer.

She is willing to bitch with you about how much the pain SUCKS because honestly, sometimes it just helps to complain with someone who just truly understands.

Has extra pillows and furs under her sleeping bag in her tent for comfort and if you two are super close, she’s definitely willing to let you curl up in there with her for a while to help ease some of the pain.

Lae’zel

Now, she might be a bit sharp with her words, but she truly only wants the best for you and will do something if you ask.

She knows how a warrior's fatigue can get the better of them, so she will point out the signs to you when she notices you working yourself past your limits.

Is willing to stay with you and scare off anyone who would say otherwise about your condition or situation. Anyone who back talks about it is getting a pommel strike, guaranteed.

She will remind you that even the best of fighters need their rest too.

Halsin

Big guy will do anything to help out where he can. He is a master healer after all.

Has the BEST bedside manners, so willing to listen to you and your experience and give input when needed or asked (and like honestly? That’s the dream right there).

Is so willing to help you with anything without any judgment for your condition. Will help you change out tubes, colostomy pouch, etc. if you need it.

Surgical scars or other scars that you may feel self conscious of? It’s okay, he won’t push to ask unless you want to talk about it, but he will tell you about the bear story and how he got his scar on his face to make you feel better.

Minthara

The second biggest defender of your honor with your disability/disabilities.

While Wyll is less susceptible to bring out the blades all willy nilly, Minthara is already asking you if she can make the perpetrator suffer.

She is ready to cut someone’s tongue out for it, laser locking eyes on any of the bastards who dare try to make a mockery of you.

An enemy to you is an enemy to her and she will not stand to hear a lick of slander about your condition(s).

Jaheira

She is old, wizened, and she understands what you’re going through the most I think.

It may even lead to her doting on you, a little bit, cub.

Because getting older is rough for anyone, but for someone with a disability/multiple disabilities it can be much tougher than others realize.

She finds it the true testament of your willingness to live though, in spite of everything or anyone and that’s something she admires greatly about you.

Minsc and Boo

Minsc has a round about way of understanding what you’re going through.

Because Minsc too, have pain in wrist. Although, he does not always understand why.

He thinks you’re wise if you're able to tell him the cause. He still thinks you're wise even if you’re not able to, but are able to figure out how to ease any of your suffering.

Minsc will tell you that Boo thinks you’re the best of the best and that’s the highest praise anyone can get from a miniature giant space hamster.
