Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves could have taken Xenk’s role as a paladin and made him a very unlikable character, but it did the opposite.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves had a lot to live up to in terms of game material, but did so particularly well with Xenk the Paladin’s alignment, honoring an original Dungeons & Dragons rule. Dungeons & Dragons classes can be played any way imaginable, but each character class lends itself to certain archetypes that can be fun to adhere to or break. For example, wizards don’t have to be classically wise and rogues can be honorable instead of shifty and untrustworthy.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Honor Among Thieves depicts a cast of adventurers, including Edgin the Bard , Holga the Barbarian , Simon the Sorcerer , and Doric the Druid while they’re on a quest to save Edgin’s daughter and take down a corrupt lord. On their travels, they need the help of Xenk the Paladin, a well-known hero who fulfills the archetype of a knight in shining armor to a T. He’s straight-laced, gallant, and does heroic deeds for their own sake.
While there are many interesting ways to engage with a paladin who is such an archetypal paragon, this has given them something of a bad reputation amongst players. But whether the paladin in question fights for justice and goodness or for vengeance and retribution, to them, most everything boils down to black and white, with little gray area.
Xenk's D&D Alignment Made Him A Better Character While including such a rigid character can be a risky move for a film such as Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves, Xenk is the perfect embodiment of the Lawful Good alignment done well. He could have been a boring character, but the movie leaned into his moral code just hard enough that it looped around into humor.
