I finished my Jack of All Trades Durge + Wyll run! I'm actually sorta proud of myself. I started on Explorer, switched to Balanced at level 4, then Tactician before Act 3. No modded equipment (used transmog for aesthetics), no tadpole powers, no summons. Just pure skill... and occasionally explosives... and sometimes reloading lol. But I did it! Here's how it went.

Blood of Lathander saved my ass against Cazador! I used Balduran's Giantslayer and made Durge big to fight Raphael! It did not help, but I had fun! I put on a fireworks show for Ansur! I killed so many dinosaurs that I think I might be why they went extinct! I blew up a bunch of Sharrans with runepowder I stole from a gnome! Wyll did a lot of stabbing! Durge accidentally summoned a lot of magma mephits! (Including at High Hall, and Nine-Fingers immediately killed it, which made it explode fire, which made a bunch of allies angry, so they left, and the strange ox turned into its true form and aggro-ed against everyone---it was a mess, I had to reload that lol.)

My durge believes in giving everyone a chance, not punishing people for crimes they haven't committed yet, and even giving people a second chance if they're willing to change. He got a second chance and wants to extend that grace to others. However, I think it's made him an accidental menace to the Sword Coast, which is especially funny considering he's dating Wyll. He saved a mind flayer, who went on to kill a family. He saved 7000+ vampires, who are definitely going to end up killing some people. He saved all of Mystic Carrion's slaves (ALL of them), so now there's a house of undead creatures, some of which just keep talking about how hungry they are, and I don't know what they eat. Durge has saved/freed so many monsters, and poor monster hunter Wyll must be so exasperated lmao. He must really love him to agree with these decisions.

Other than that... They saved all but three Gondians total (all deaths happened at the Foundry). And they saved all the people from the Steel Watchers where you connect with the brains, which was a miracle because Wyll has 10 wisdom (had to use him because Durge has 8 lol), and he passed two 25 roll checks. They also saved the hag victims, Oskar, Volo, Florrick, Ulder, the usual. Unfortunately all the cashguards and a few citizens died to the Bhaalists. But Durge rejected Bhaal, Wyll broke his contract and became the Blade of Avernus, they got engaged, they saved the city, and then they went to Avernus to kill devils together.

Also, jack of all trades is ridiculous. Just look at this:

Funny that the two things he's worst at are religion and animal handling since he's a Bhaalspawn and part fox lol.

Anyway, I saw numerous things I'd never seen before, either because I just never noticed before or I did things in a different way/order. I saw a bunch of Wyll dialogue I'd never seen. I finally started to get the hang of combat lol. Wild magic created its own unique chaos. My 10th playthrough, and I still had fun!
