* TransTribulations: Was assigned female at birth but identifies as male, something the strict gender roles of Lolth-worshipping drow do not allow for. He left the Underdark and joined Bregan D'aerthe in order to be able to live his life openly as a male-presenting drow.

** CavalryBetrayal: [[spoiler: Depending on whom the BigBad is, what information is gathered from either various side quests or Plot Hooks before, and what factions and allies they chose before they went after the Vault, the players can [[FromBadToWorse potentially]] [[UnwinnableByMistake doom themselves by accident]] [[TooDumbToLive or even on purpose]]. Thankfully, while three factions will never backstab the party without proper incentive, three have the potential to be problematic]].

* InstantWinCondition: The easiest way to win the module, especially if Jarlaxle Baenre is the BigBad or at least involved? Join the Lords' Alliance. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, seriously,]] Laeral Silverhand's mere presence not only [[KnowsWhenToFoldEm makes Jarlaxle give up without a fight]], but she [[spoiler: [[CuttingTheKnot immediately negotiates the gold's release from Aurinax]]]].

* ByTheBookCop/KnowsWhenToFoldThem: She may not like it, but if she finds out [[spoiler: about the Cassalanters' devil worship]] in her fifth level mission, she sheathes her sword since [[spoiler: worshipping Asmodeus]] is technically not illegal in Waterdeep, and she'd rather not get in more trouble than going after a noble family. [[spoiler: That could change if she finds out about the whole ritualistic sacrifice the Cassalanters are planning).

Asskicking Leads To Leadership is the new name of the trope.


* TheAgeless: As a demigoddess, she does not age.



* AssKickingEqualsAuthority: Waterdeeep's ruler and also probably its most powerful wizard. The Xanathar, a monsterous mob-boss that can very much kill all players just by looking at them, is utterly '''terrified''' of her.
