Line 60:
* In the ''[[Doctor Who]]'' serial ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S21/E03 Frontios|Frontios]]'', the Doctor is trying to obey the rules about non-intervention when he sees there are wounded.
** In ''[[Doctor Who/Recap/S15/E06 The Invasion of Time|The Invasion Of Time]]'', the wild Gallifreyans take in the exiled ones.

* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'':
** In some editions, this is mandatory for [[The Paladin|Paladins]], who are required to give a percentage of their wealth and earnings to charity. How much they fit the image of the traditional Good Samaritan depends on how well the character role-plays. <ref>This was based on the tradition of tithing, a practice where one donated a portion of income to the church in the Middle Ages. A similar practice is the Islamic pillar of ''zakat'', or charity.</ref>
** The Book of Exalted Deeds for the Dungeons & Dragons setting has rules for playing ascetic characters, who are supposed to act like this; by taking the [[Heroic Vow| Vow of Poverty Feat]] and never violating it (which means voluntary poverty) and giving everything valuable to charity, these characters gain [[Holy Hand Grenade| potent Exalted abilities]].
* In the ''[[Planescape]]'' campaign setting, there's a small group (well, rather large for any group not big enough to be a full-fledged Faction) called the Ring-Givers who believe that everything that you give to others will eventually come back to you, and that you only get as good as you give. Members of this group provide charity to others, and live by accepting it from others. (No easy feat in this setting, where most folks believe that [[Every Man Has His Price]].). Most members are, indeed, Good Samaritans, but unfortunately, there are plenty of [[Bad Samaritan]]s in the group too.
