This would of course seriously screw them in number of attacks, being a big downgrade in power.

But story wise the race I am working will have a focus on doing just what I stated before hand. If anyone has anymore ideas on such a concept let me know.

06-22-07, 07:32 PM 'RAW', I'd have to say 'yes, but...' Mechanically, a great number of moves would be hard to do (overhead swings, etc.). My only PC race with multiple 'martial' capable limbs favors greatswords with multiple bucklers (racial feat that prevents flanking). When I have them hammered down to +0, I'll post them.
