Message: <blockquote data-quote="dante58701" data-source="post: 4215276" data-attributes="member: 40336">I think were forgetting that with each additional pair of arms on a torso comes a slendering of the arms, rather than a shortening. While each arm is just as long as a normal arm, it is far more slender. This factor above all is why -5/Arm Str/Extra Pair of arms makes perfect sense.Even if the arms of a Marilith (or similar creature) are the same size as the creature (Medium for Medium). They simply lack the bulk of regular arms and are typically spaced below the shoulders and along the sides of the torso.So...a 4 ft. (Medium) person would have slender (Medium) arms, albeit they would be rather scrawny since they are more slender. It's not like were taking BUFFED UP BEYOND ALL REASON arms and putting them on a dinky individual.It could be argued, however, that for each -10 to arm Strength the arms are considered 1 size smaller for damage purposes, if not for reach.I honestly think creatures with multiple arms also need a climb speed. I fail to see why they aren't getting one with all those useful arms.Sidenote (somewhat related) - Abnormality is still in need of some corrections. You have Extra Tail, but each time you take it...you get two tails (while 2 is cool...1 makes a lot more sense), rather than just one and you didn't really explain what having an extra tail does for you.</blockquote>
