We're almost there with Patch 2.6!
Steam Beta 2.6.4.0 for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition is available now for public testing!
"There is strength in numbers, and I am two or three, at least." ~ Minsc.
Based on your feedback on the 2.6.3.0 build, we've decided to include a few more fixes into 2.6— and this is why we need one additional round of beta testing. HUGE thanks to everyone testing these games and helping us make this patch a success.
IMPORTANT:
Patch 2.6 will NOT be the last patch for Baldur's Gate: Enhanced Edition
System Requirements have changed:
Minimum: Windows 7, 8.1, 10 64-bit, OS X 10.9, Ubuntu 18.04 or equivalent
TEST OBJECTIVE: Start questing! Is the patch good enough to release?

Leave wand recharging alone. The shops that do it charge you a significant amount for doing it. It's not broken. Do not fix what is not broke.
the claw of kazgaroth will only show the AC bonus in the stats compare screen if HP aren't lowered by the claw
