If Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves wasn't forced to cut the biggest hero in the franchise, it would've lost out on one of its best gags.
One of the best parts of Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves wouldn’t have worked if the movie didn’t cut the tabletop game’s biggest character. Drizzt Do’Urden, a dark elf ranger and the protagonist in over 30 novels, was originally meant to appear in Honor Among Thieves. However, plans changed and the character was subsequently removed from the story.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Drizzt Do’Urden is a beloved icon of the Dungeons & Dragons universe, having headlined a multitude of stores set in its world. Apart from being the focus of R.A. Salvatore’s long-running Legend of Drizzt book series, the character has played roles in various D&D campaigns and video games such as Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
Honor Among Thieves Couldn’t Have Used One Of Its Best Gags With Drizzt Xenk being able to take Drizzt’s place in Honor Among Thieves makes perfect sense, especially when considering their personalities. His strong moral code matches up well with how Regé Jean-Page’s character behaved in the movie. However, one fundamental difference perfectly distinguishes the two characters: Drizzt represents the ranger class, whereas Xenk is a paladin.
In most editions of Dungeons & Dragons, players who play the paladin class are bound to the Lawful Good alignment. As a result, all paladins are defined by a stereotype, with them all being regarded as do-gooders who never stray from the righteous path. Seeing the world in black and white makes them unpopular with others, which is an aspect of the class that was perfectly illustrated by Edgin’s issues with Xenk.
Honor Among Thieves’ Planned Drizzt Cameo Explains Why Xenk Is So Powerful In terms of comedic appeal, at least, Xenk was a better choice than Drizzt for Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. That said, how the dark elf is characterized in most D&D material indicates that certain parts of the movie wouldn’t have been much different if Drizzt was on hand instead of Xenk. Like Xenk, Drizzt is commonly seen as a one-man army who makes short work of most foes that cross his paths.
