@LeviKornelsen Yeah, that's part of the fun I had in D&D 4th edition in particular, figuring out how different power sources and different classes were expressed in the different default cultures. Or in Vampire, looking at how different clans affect various tropes within them…
Thinking about it now, the World of Darkness probably deeply influenced me (for good or ill) with the “pick from 2+ lists of archetypes/tropes/factions and shake well.”
