Jun 15, 2009 14:09:11 Hello, I created the thread to collect the informations to maximize the reach and number of the limbs to control the battlefield.

So I search the PrCs, feats, etc to maximized the reach and the limbs.

For example, the roper has 6 strands and a 50 feet reach.

I will edit the first post with your future answer.

Thanks for your future help.

Edit: here it is: http://forums.gleemax.com/wotc_archive/index.php/t-706353

Edit2: as for reach there is a feat in savage species "Extended reach" (p.34) and another feat in Lord of madness called "inhuman reach" (p.180)

hope this helps

Jun 16, 2009 11:26:40 DMG2 had the "Extra Limbs" one(works as a kind of "Level Adjustment-included Trait"), which can go towards either Legs(good on Centaurs and the like), or Arms(anyone who can use weapons)
Fang of Lolth(Song and Silence, 3.0 PrC), grants you bonus claws/hands, and a bite.
Arachnid Creature(Underdark, 3.0) is trickier to acquire, but increases the number of hands/claws you have.
Insectile Creature(Savage Species, 3.0) gives hands which are worthless for attacks, but if you can find a way to add claws to your hands(Geomancer Drift 3, with the hawk claws, I think, possibly Dragon Disciple), you can bypass this limitation.
