Line 38:
* [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]]: Marc Vilo
* [[Cutting the Knot]]: Caine's usual way of solving problems.
* [[Deconstruction]]: Of a wealth of [[Fantasy]] tropes, being a [[Low Fantasy]] take on archetypal [[Dungeons and& Dragons]] settings like the [[Forgotten Realms]]. Pays particular attention to the [[Designated Hero|brutal realities]] behind what it would mean to be a [[Player Character]].
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Berne.
* [[Doorstopper]]
Line 113:
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]
* [[Unwinnable Training Simulation]]: The Lakefront simulation in chapter 0 of ''Blade of Tyshalle''.
* [[Vancian Magic]]: Thaumaturgists pattern spells into physical items, giving them a limited stock, likely as an intentional nod to the series' [[Dungeons and& Dragons]] inspiration.
** Not necessarily. Using one-shot enchanted items for casting isn't so much necessary as much, much easier; but the series abounds with powerful mages throwing around high-end magic without any kind of focus or limit. Of course, to be fair, some of them are/become gods.
* [[Vasquez Always Dies]]: ''Heroes Die''. {{spoiler|Talaan and Shanna are both [[Action Girl|Action Girls]] to an extent, but Talaan is much more [[Badass]]. Naturally, she's the one to draw the short straw}}.
