Best dungeons & dragons movie characters

298 duels later, Edgin (Bard) is still #1 in the Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves favorite character ranking, with Simon (Sorcerer) close behind.

The sharpest divide appears at the top, where 83 ELO points separate Edgin from Simon in second place. Edgin wins 71% of his duels across 17 matchups, the highest win rate in the ranking, suggesting fans responded most strongly to the bard's combination of leadership, humor and emotional depth. The podium is rounded out by Doric (Druid) at 1237 points after 26 duels. Below her, the middle ranks cluster tightly: Holga (Barbarian) and Xenk (Paladin) sit remarkably close, separated by just 2 ELO points at 1204 and 1202 respectively, despite their different combat styles and narrative arcs. Simon, meanwhile, carries 1269 points with a 61% win rate over 23 duels, positioning him as a solid runner-up. At the bottom, Forge Fletcher (Rogue) lands at 944 points with a 13% win rate across 16 duels, indicating the rogue antagonist failed to win over voters despite his central role in the plot.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
