So yeah. I have a cleric with 6 arms, who uses longswords specifically. I want each of the weapons to be a little different then eachother. Material and enchantment wise

The first one I have right now is Cold-Iron, probably will make it Wounding.


So far my List is this:
1. Justice - Cold Iron, Wounding
2. Honor - Defending
3. Freedom - Anarchic
4. Providence - Maiming
5. Mercy - Vorpal
6. Righteousness - Not to sure about this one.
And yes I am aware of the irony.

First off, how do you have six arms? Just curious.

Second, the Obvious choice for Righteousness is an Alchemical Silver Holy Longsword. (Which preps it for combat with devils and/or evil lycanthropes).

Of course, now this also raises the qeustion, with all your hands full of swords, how are you going to cast spells with Somatic components?

Magical experiment gone terribly right.

And good choice. Didn't think of that.

I won't always have them all drawn. But I wouldn't think it'd be much of a problem anyway. A cleric with two weapons or a sword and shield can cast spells still. At least that I've seen and done before I had 6 arms.

You still need to be able to hold up your holy symbol to be a able to cast.

You might consider taking the "Worldly Focus" Feat from Faiths of Eberron (if appropriate) - it allows you to avoid having to pull out a holy symbol, using the world itself as a divine focus.
