Vecna is Skeletor. Much of his popularity (besides his artifacts) comes from just showing up every Saturday morning to attempt his dastardly plot and get foiled. Often with funny looking henchmen. Tiamat is in a similar boat. They both clock in for work on the regular. :geek:

It always feels like people have an ANGER inside of them, and it needs to go somewhere. And lacking a grand cause to direct their anger, it will be vented upon small things.

Sister harpies help each other out with their feet, combing hair, picking lice, putting in little bits of stolen jewelry, etc.

There was a definite chunk of players of mixed heritage that identified with half-elves, and wanted to play them for that specific reason.

Elf, Tiefling, Goblin. All incredibly flexible and able to be portrayed in countless entertaining ways, while still being more interesting than humans!

As mentioned, it wouldn't be hard to use the Warlock chassis. Each Vestige would be a set of Invocations and 1-5 spells known while that Vestige is bound. You gain the ability to bind multiple as you increase in level, etc Most of the Invocations would need to be custom of course.
