Xanathar's can be exploited - as well as the doors' tendency to block all projectiles, including magical ones - to fight him in relative safety since he can't open the doors (which also allows you to rest in the middle of the battle).

The second game also has an NPC that runs off, but he won't do it if you reduce your party size after recruiting him.

Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You start the game with four characters, even when importing to the sequels.

Quite necessary, since at that time your cleric isn't high level enough to cast neutralize poison, only the weaker delay poison spell, which just gains you some time.

Antidote Effect: In the first game, you can find potions of counterpoison in the Giant Spiders level.

The one stand-out is the ring of wizardry, however, which doubles the amount of spells of a certain level a wizard can cast each day.

Amplifier Artifact: Most of the magic items giving pluses, as is standard for D&D, count as this.

Alien Blood: Xanathar bleeds green when he's finally killed.

It's inhabited by kobolds, giant leeches, zombies and skeletons, as well as flinds and kuo-toas.

Absurdly-Spacious Sewer: The first game begins in Waterdeep's sewers.

Absurdly High Level Cap: The third game lets your characters reach a maximum of level 20, but you will reach the end of the game around level 13-15 at most, even after defeating every non-respawning enemy.

'80s Hair: The drow named Shindia Darkeyes has a frizzy head of hair.
