** Many signs are written in "monster script" and only certain classes can read them.

* PalleteSwap: Tel'Arin and Tel'Eleron. Somewhat justified in that [[spoiler: they're brothers.]]

Both ''ToD'' and ''SoM'' were released on the [=PlayStation=] Network, Xbox Live, Wii U eShop and {{Steam}} in June 18th, 2013 as '''''Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara'''''.

Both ''Mystara'' and its prequel were released on the [=PlayStation=] Network, Xbox Live, Wii U eShop and {{Steam}} in June 18th, 2013 as '''''Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara'''''.

* CosmeticAward: High scores from people who defeated the red dragon in the first game have a flying dragon icon.

* TheDragon: Tel'Arin the Shadow Elf is the Dragon to Demios in ''Tower of Doom'', and arguably to Synn in ''Shadow over Mystara''.

* DualWielding: The Fighter can do this if he finds a short sword.

* TheUnfought: The fiend in the second game shows up as part of the ending, but isn't fought.

* WeaponOfXSlaying: The Dragonslayer Sword, which is nearly as good as the Sword of Legend against Synn. Also, the Holy Avenger, which does extra damage to undead.

-->"I'm not down yet!"

* OneHitKill: Don't attempt to tank the dragons' full-screen fire attack.

* WeaponOfXSlaying: The Dragonslayer Sword, which is nearly as good as the Sword of Legend against Synn.

* BalefulPolymorph: Amazingly, this spell was kept in. It functions as a SmartBomb.

* TeasedWithAwesome: Some really neat weapons, such as the Sword of Flame, Sword of Frost, or Dragon Slayer, show up in the next-to-last level. There's also a secret store that sells very powerful weapons, that can only be found a few levels from the end.

* ShownTheirWork: Aside from accurately incorporating rules and monsters from ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'', the games are set in the world of Mystara, the campaign setting that originated with the early ''Dungeons & Dragons'' release. The Night Dragon Synn is a major villain in the campaign.

The first game, ''Tower of Doom'', had:
* '''The Fighter''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Crassus, Jarred), who can use any melee weapon in the game and is capable of DualWielding swords.

* '''The Elf''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Lucia, Kayla), the original SquishyWizard of the first game. She compensates for low hit points with high speed and ranged attacks, and offensive magic.
* '''The Cleric''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Greldon, Miles), who could heal and provide {{Status Buff}}s and Debuffs. All his weapons were blunt and had poor range. He could also TurnUndead, which in the game worked as a SmartBomb against skeletons, zombies and the like.

* '''The Dwarf''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Dimsdale, Hendel), who can cause additional treasure to spawn. [[MightyGlacier Very slow,]] but hit the hardest.

The second game, ''Shadow over Mystara'', added:
* '''The Thief''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Moriah, Shannon), MsFanservice incarnate, who was given a ton of fighting options, trap detection, and a stealing ability to compensate for low damage absorption and inability to use a shield.

* '''The Magic-User''' ({{Canon Name}}s: Syous, D'Raven), who could barely fight physically but started every level with a high amount of offensive magic spells. Also can't use a shield.
