[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children) Can you play as a creature with four arms? permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) Loxodons (Elephant species) have two arms but can use their trunk to make a grapple attack. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Nycto@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) Thikreen have 4 arms. The secondary set can use Light weapons. Note that having 4 arms, each holding a Dagger or other light weapon doesn't inherently grant any additional attacks. The best combo I have come up with is using 5.5 weapon mastery ruleson a Berserker Barb, and a 2h weapon with some desirable property like Cleave in your Primary arms, and Scimitars in your secondary arms. After level 5, with attack action you can make 1 attack with your big weapon, Cleave attack if you hit, then 1 attack with the secondary arms Scimitar, then an attack from Nick as part of that same attack action, then a bonus action attack with scimitar. STR bonus on first 2 attacks, +2 Rage bonus on all 5 attacks, +2d6 damage on first hit when Reckless, which you should always use. permalink fedilink source parent
