attacking with double bows

[banjolick]

hey y'all I'm starting up a campaign where i wanted to use a Thri-Kreen (4-armed monstrous humanoid) as a personal PC (while the other members have their own which they will use like NPC's when they DM). Basicall,y the group seems very rogue-like, specializing in hiding and attacking. BUT I wanted to use double bows. He has 4 arms. I dont see why I could not take multiweapon fighting when i will only get two ranged attacks per round with that. I dont mean to exploit the system or anythign liek that. Well, if anyone thinks that this is viable or not, i would appreciatye the feedback. I was thinkign i could use the penalties as if i had two one-handed weapons. thnx!

Actually, I believe the second bow counts as the "off-hand attack" and to use it you would need to take the Multiweapon Fighting feat. Viable, did it for an assassin a couple years ago. For a more recently printed idea, see how they did it with the Arrow Demon.
