* BadassNormal: Branick, when summoned to the battlefield in the Union.



* BottomlessMagazines: Rina & Aramil have quivers that generate arrows (Including TrickArrow s) upon request, although they seem to be common for Ironwood Guardians to be equipped with. However, no other characters seem to run out of ammo for anything, including siege engines.



* EmpoweredBadassNormal: Queen Sirena. While she isn't a godling, she does wield some of the magic items from her grandfather, the GodKing Jakub Kladivo.

* LoveEpiphany: Averted, as Phryane's divinity constantly alters people's emotions towards her. Heavily averted when Branick [[spoiler: is brought to the Union, and has an OhCrap realization.]]



* TrickArrow: The Ironwood elves carry flare arrows and those with a sleep-inducing poison.

* OurMagesAreDifferent: There don't seem to be any mages or magic-users in the Godsfall universe, save the Emperor. However, since the setting is based in a Dungeons and Dragons universe, the out-of-character speech refers to the characters with things like classes in the game, that don't have any impact on the world they are in. On a game level, Para is a Cleric, Haldir is a Warlock, Torrvic is a Paladin, Dorro is a Rogue, and so on... but listening to the podcast, that isn't evident.
