Is there any use in giving money to these lazy street dwellers? Wil I get a rep bonus at some point or is it just for the roleplaying?

Just for the RPG, no Rep bonus, just a good feeling(?). Besides, if you have too much gold(like me, 176296 gold in chpt 2) from Dungeon scrounging all over the place and selling lots o items, use it for the good of the economy! Or donate it to temples for rep bonus(irrelevant).

<font color="gold">Ditto what Suzaki said, plus that in some cases, you can choose to give them a bit extra in trade for information. ;)
But the only way to get higher rep through money, is by donating to the church.</font>

KILL THEM ALL

evry 500 + 500 evry time do + 500 i think you get a rep point

its all some were in a text doc in baldurs gate files ....

If you talk to a beggar, and tell him you don't want to give him cash, he might steel some from you.

I like giving money to the poor. It gives ya a good feeling, unless your an evil thief, which i say backstab em in the shadows and feel good that no more lousy beggars are around to pocket money from you.

Why kill them? Turn them to stone and beautify the city with works of art. Genuine Bhaalspawn made statues, a surefire hit. ;)
