Ragtag Bunch of Misfits: Redbeard's private notes observe that you've been assigned the most dysfunctional Hands in Avadon to fight alongside you.Our Monsters Are Different: Most of the entries under that heading on the Avernum page are equally true here.One Stat to Rule Them All: Dexterity is the best of the four basic attributes by a significant margin.Enemies gain health and damage on higher difficulties, but also sometimes get extra turns, and bosses usually have a new attack or two. Numerical Hard: One, but not the only, way in which difficulty scales up.Nature Hero: Jenell both deconstructs and reconstructs this trope in her conversations.My Greatest Failure: How Sevilin got his scar.Multiple Endings: It's a Spiderweb Software game.Memetic Badass: Redbeard is one in universe, as explained by the intro.There are also doors blocked by runes, which a require a special knife to open. Locked Door: Some require lockpicks and mechanical skills to open.Item Crafting: You can't make items yourself, but a few NPCs will make them for you if you bring them ingredients, and most types of equipment can be augmented once with runestones.Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja: It's pretty clear right off the bat what the "Shadow Walker" class is based on-one of his earliest spells is basically a smokebomb.Guide Dang It: As usual for Spiderweb, a lot of stats have effects that aren't fully explained in-game.(And yes, that's pretty much how he phrases it.)
