I love the character trope of the obnoxiously perfect and competent lawful good guy. It's so obnoxious that it's not even irritating anymore, just funny. He's so cool. I love paladins.

[@MythicFox]

Xenk is a rare example of that trope done right.

[@justaghostinthesea]

He's obnoxious, but he has the skill to back it up

[@hypothalapotamus5293]

"I am a paladin. I am so lawful good that cities spontaneously burst into flames when I walk by." - me roleplaying an overly process driven oath of vengeance paladin. There are many ways of playing this trope. On one end of the spectrum, there is Cervantes (the ingenious Captain Shinguard from Iowa*). On the other, there is the modern interpretation of Lancelot in "The ill made knight" and many of GRRM's knightly characters, where they represent a chivalric ideal but find that this code is incompatible with the grey world they live in. *this is translating Cervantes' most famous work into modern American cultural equivalents

[@lanceareadbhar]

So well said. He's so perfect he always walks straight even when a big rock is in the way.

[@PorterB]

Theres a bunch of gaming channels where people who play paladins in their games tried to also play a paladin in BG3, and they end up breaking their oath in like 5 minutes because they actually have no idea how to play a paladin from the alignment perspective lol. Lawful Good is actually quite difficult when you have to actually stick to the law and your promises in a D&D setting. You can't even infiltrate the goblins and then sneak kill them for example.

My favorite part of the fight sequence is they didn't cut to the rest of the group mid-fight for some quip or comedic reaction. The action is played out full and you can get invested start to finish.

I think this is a more general part of how the entire style of cinematography subtly changes while Xenk is on screen. If this had been any of the main party fighting, that absolutely would've happened, but because Xenk is a character from a tonally different campaign, the cinematography is different.

[@MythicFox]

The movie was written by gaming nerds that actually had game rules experts on set to help them with details. (Anything they seem to get 'wrong,' like Edgin never casting spells despite being a bard, is an intentional liberty taken for storytelling's sake.) They even ran a massive one-shot tabletop session with the actors playing their characters so everyone had a feel for what sort of story they were portraying. So yes, they did their homework.

[@remingtonwright6796]

I see a lot of battle maps using grid squares. Maybe I'm just not using 5e maps. I just figured a lot of people used Heroscape pieces for their table sets.

[@nuggetsschumaker4371]

even as a DMPC, he used this feature as a plot point to show the party that fighting constantly is futile against these enemies.

As a paladin main, I appreciate that his approach is without hesitation. It is your compulsion to judge quickly and act in full force, and not be reliant on just one weapon. Essentially, be proficient enough to give yourself time to make your judgement, and act right away. It would be so easy to write the LG Pally as someone who's willing to sacrifice himself or give mercy to the enemy. No! That's wrong! You are a warrior of your god, regardless of your standing. The enemy is there. Make them regret crossing paths with you, and let the gods decide where their souls go.

Depends on your oath, and your interpretation of a paladin. This definitely works for an oath of devotion, vengeance, conquest, etc, but for an oath of redemption or oath of ancients this would be harder to match.

[@sagesaria]

I'm of two minds for the meta of this scene: One, most likely, is the DMPC taking over a fight in a way that's often described in RPGHorrorStories But my personal headcanon, is that the session was running long, and the DM wanted to get the Themberchaud quicker, so he handwaved the fight with the thayans saying "just imagine the sickest fight sequence you've ever seen, now you're running."

[@FrostSylph]

As pointed by someone above, my guess is it's a narrated fight scene with little if any rolls, existing to trigger the chase like you said. If the DM actually rolled for the combat then yeah it would drag on and be pretty boring, but my assumption would be it was rather concise.

[@MythicFox]

If this were a scene in a game I was running, it'd be a narrated fight that's going on in the background when the rest of the characters are supposed to be running ahead... but the players insisted on having their characters stay and watch anyways.
