But I can't help but think of the fantastic Vampire and Lich from Heroes & Monsters. Not all super villains need to be unique to an adventure. Good story telling is what gives any AP quality. A good writer could take that Lich and build a great story. Same is true for the Vampire. There is now three bestiaries full of exciting opportunities for great story telling. There is no need to constantly reinvent the wheel, when there are several tire stores to pick from.

<p>Paizo orc faces and physiques are very much in unison with how I envision orcs. Many miniature sculptors either give them a very porcine appearance, or make them look like mutated goblins. Additionally, Paizo goblins minis are green and not purple! •More grumbling about his army of purple orcs•</p>
