Wow, some real imagination went into these. Check out the Force of Nature's "Environment Shape" at 30th level!
A couple tropes missing from this article (maybe we'll see them Friday)...
* "Legacy Hero", who bequeaths their wisdom and talent to a worthy heir, perhaps a child (the next PC?).
* "Living Legend", at the moment of their glorious death, the hero becomes a story which, when told, empowers those who hear it with some of the hero's essence.
* "Otherworldy Sojourner", the hero goes on to a blessed realm of immortal beings (though not an afterlife) as reward for their arduous quest.
* "Immortal Archmage", wizard hero unlocks secret of immortality and amasses untold arcane power, going on to fuse with the magic permeating the world.
* "Swindler of Death", who cons the Raven Queen and cannot be taken to the underworld for punishment, gaining time to complete a critical quest before the Raven Queen catches up with him.
Any other ideas?
