Honor Among Thieves’ directors explain where and why they broke the D&D rules
Size 469mb
The directors of the upcoming Dungeons and Dragons movie, "Honor Among Thieves," have acknowledged that they made changes to the D&D rules for cinematic or plot advancement reasons [1]. They aimed to balance the needs of both D&D fans and non-fans. While they tried to stay true to the D&D rules where possible, they also subscribed to the "Rule of Cool" and included things like the Druid Doric transforming into an Owlbear, which is technically not permissible in D&D [2]. The film also minimized clerical magic and bards' magical abilities were not portrayed, although the bard could charm and tell stories [1]. The directors aimed to strike a balance between the humorous and dramatic aspects of the game and used plot twists to capture the game's spirit. They also created their own characters for the film, with each representing a different type of player [3]
