I have purchased some pose sets, but I rarely use one "out of the box" Almost always I tweak them, sometimes I combine the lower body part of one pose with the upper body part from another. Pose sets (both those included with Poser and pose sets I bought) are great as starting points. What I miss is partial poses. With a set of 10 arm poses, 10 leg poses and 5 body poses you can create an enormous variety of base poses that then can be tweaked to the needs of the particular scene. I have found only one partial pose set yet (didn't buy it, didn't match my needs). Hand poses are often a pain; even when a hand pose is supplied with a prop (e.g. the torch holding hand pose supplied with DMs Time Prisoners), they don't really look good in closeup. And like hoskins78 said, many pose sets (CL and third-party) disregard the natural limits of joints, especially knees/elbows bending side to side, fingers bent backwards at an unnatural angle and so on. Still, I often apply a pose from a library as a starting point. Saves time.

The pen is mightier than the sword. But if you literally want to have some impact, use a typewriter
