Astarion's best ending involves completing his personal quest and gaining a newfound resolve, but it also means he can no longer stand in sunlight.

Unfortunately, non-Origin characters in Baldur's Gate 3 like Halsin, Minthara, Minsc, and all the hirelings don't have tadpoles in their brains, so they can't access them. That leaves Astarion, Gale, Karlach, Lae'zel, Shadowheart, and Wyll able to take on Illithid Powers.
