20 points seems a bit expensive for low-light vision and a starting Body of 3. Now I only got to browse the rules at my friend's house for a few minutes, so I could definitely be missing something here, which is why I'm asking. Do Orcs have any other plus-sides? Humans get +1 edge for zero points....seems like a better deal.
