Here's one to bump thread.
Some kinda legacy system (game has permadeath but wait..)
Your characters are mortal and can die of old age. If you play out a character to old age you get an heir. Basically a free level pass to the last arbitrary check point it reaches (level X and/or x hundred skill points or whatever) upon character creation. This character now has a family tree the you can see, players can inspect, linked in text... along with their great deeds (achievements) for bragging rights or whatever.
Chance to try new class?
Come from a long line of Rangers?
You now also have an heirloom chest and each character can designate X items/loot from what you've amassed to be passed on the the next character.
Found super sweet epic wand you don't wanna sell but aren't a wizards? Pass mark it heirloom and roll a wizard if you want.
Coin wealth has not been considered but it would just be whatever scales fairly with the rest of this idea.
