So their oath is based upon them following the example of a venerated ancestor from the past, like Heracles or Perseus. So, like a paladin, they are able to incarnate a small portion of their ancestor's power through sheer willpower, so long as they live their lives in their ancestor's image; slaying monsters, accomplishing great deeds, helping the helpless, going on adventures, destroying and pillaging.</p></blockquote><p></p>
