Help a Handless Rogue

[RUMBLETiGER]

What options are available for a handless creature who want's to use skills that, well, require hands?

I Thought I Was Onto Something Here... but I wasn't.

Spells, gear, Class abilities besides Arcane Trickster?

Alter Self/Polymorph.
Good luck finding resources other than things that give you hands.

Hm... I'm afriad I may need to look to Savage Species for this one, Naga Arms and Gloves of Man may be my only options.

Spectral Hand can fight normally and cast touch spells. It defiantly implies it works like a normal hand. If you use the already cheesy permanent metamagic, and find a way to shove it into an eternal wand, then you have a somewhat cheesy way of using a hand as normal.

Spare Hand (Magic Item Compendium, would require house-ruling)

Mighty Arms (Faiths of Eberron)

Replacement body parts (Dragon Magazine 240, Bazaar of the Bizarre, 2nd ed)

You mean persistent metamagic, right? That's a +6, which won't usually work with any wand.

Making a custom item of it could work, but the cost might be similar enough to the Gloves of Man that you might as well use the gloves.

Yeah I did, type and what not xD

And I know its +6, but there are cheesy ways to bring it down and not count it, so it wouldnt be +6 anymore.

If this is generally accepted as a functional hand, this might work, a Rogue can easily use a level 2 spell from a wand.

Well, if he can trigger the want without having a hand.

Deepspawn feat. Pick pockets with your tentacles, then if you are detected, just pull your handless arms out of your pockets and shrug with innocence.
