Line 45:
* In ''[[Legend of the Five Rings]]'', famous ancestors can be bought as merits at character creation. Each of them gives some merits (and sometimes drawbacks) depending of what he was famous for.
* This trope is made into an actual game mechanic in the ''[[Star Wars]]'' Saga Edition tabletop game with the Legacy Destiny, where your normal Destiny<ref>Something like Destruction, Creation, Redemption, Prevention, Sacrifice, etc</ref> is replaced with a family line that grants you a special ability (usually, getting a Critical Success more-or-less when you really need one).
* From ''[[Forgotten Realms]]'' Drizzt Do'Urden is known as a powerful warrior and sworn enemy of his own people, both traits he inherited from his father, mentor, and inspiration, the drow weapons-master Zaknafein Do'Urden.
