!!''The Hundred Companions'' provides examples of:
* AmbiguousGender: Adrien, one of the main characters, has an ambiguous gender and is referred to with they/them pronouns.
* ArtifactOfDoom: Alister, a demonic executioner trapped in a sword for crimes [[EvenEvilHasStandards hateful]] even to his fellow [[AlwaysChaoticEvil Chaotic Evil]] [[EldritchAbomination outsiders]].
* CoolSword: Alister, again.
* TheChosenOne: [[spoiler: The girl Shyre rescued from orcs may be more than she seems.]]
* DemiHuman: Dwarves, gnomes and orcs appear in person, and the elves are all dead by the time of the main story.
* DyingRace: The Forsaken have turned their attention towards the dwarves, making them this. This is after they succeeded with the elves.
* EmergingFromTheShadows: Spirit Eater has this tendency, as do several of their fellow [[BigBadEnsemble Forsaken]].
* EnsembleDarkHorse: Alister, again, again. For an item improvised at random during the Pathfinder sessions the stories were originally based on, Alister appears in more fan art than any of the other characters combined.
* EthnicMagician: [[WizardClassic One-Eye]] is described on the author's blog as looking like [[Creator/MorganFreeman Morgan Freeman]] cosplaying [[Main/LordOfTheRings Gandalf]].
* TheFairFolk: The single Gnome we've seen thus far seems to have these tendencies, apparently unable to distinguish between a hilarious prank and an assassination attempt.
* FantasticRacism: Even otherwise sympathetic character, like [[AFatherToHisMen Captain Ursin]], have the tendency to judge people by their race first.
* FaustianRebellion [[spoiler: The Corpsemaker, Lady Silver Moon, as well as [[SixthRangerTraitor The Shattered One]]. The Corpsemaker had less success than either Silver Moon or [[BadPowersGoodPeople The Shattered One]].]]
* FishPeople: They appear in early on in the story, seemingly charging towards the ship the mercenaries are aboard. [[spoiler: Turns out they're not so much charging as [[AlwaysABiggerFish being chased]].]]
* FiveBadBand: Though the forsaken were originally 7, only 5 are still around by the start of the story.
** TheBigBad: [[LadyOfBlackMagic The Mistress]], who replaced her husband the Imperator.

** TheHeart: Shyre, LawfulGood Human [[ThePaladin Paladin]].
* FunctionalMagic: Many members of the Hundred Companions, including second in command [[WizardClassic One-Eye]] and his apprentice [[TricksterArchetype Sven]], rely on it almost exclusively, while others, like [[ThePaladin Shyre]] and [[HeWhoFightsMonsters Soren]] mix it with some degree of martial arts.
* GenderBlenderName: Adrien is a gender-neutral name. Even when coupled with their [[AmbiguousGenderIdentity gender]], very few questions are raised.
* GodGuise: The Mistress at least likes to play up the image, and has a cult dedicated to her worship. Whether she is merely a very powerful sorceress or has actually ascended to divinity is unclear.
* HalfHumanHybrid: Half-Orcen Monk Nazu of the Hundred Companions.
