If a person is polymorphed into something that has many appendages (say an octopus) do they get all 8 attacks?

The books seem to suggest not, though if that is the case I'm considering allowing it if you have the Two Weapon Fighting feat.

you get all the natural attacks the creature has. The text you are referring to limits you from using new limbs to make weapon attacks, such as turning into a merilith (assuming you're capable of polymorphing into an outsider) to wield 6 weapons at once.

Check out skips articles on polymorphing. I believe this (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040518a) and this (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rg/20040525a) should help answer your questions.

Hope that helps.
