As each weapon hold is ready for use, he doesn't need to switch weapons if holding a gythka, a shield, a javelin and a chatkcha (sidenote: Gythka are too powerful. 2d8 - sorry - thats over the top even with just a +1 prof. bonus. make it +3 and d10 and keep the versatile thing that makes it on par with a bastard sword - good enough imho) He could also wield a gythka versatile, parry with a shield and have a chatkcha ready to throw it at an enemy.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">get a free action to ready stuff in his hands. he got four of them. There is no reason to let him take longer then a round to get all four arms armed.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">can throw a ranged weapon at an enemy without triggering an attack of opportunity if wielding a gythka versatile or weapon+shield.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">can not wield a polearm and a shield and get the benefits of both of them. needs to choose which of them takes effect in the round. But he could ready a polearm and fight with a sword and shield style until the polearm is needed...</li> </ul>I don't think that a racial feature should just get thrown out of the door because 4e doesn't bring something like that on the table from the start.We are seeing, and will see, very new approaches to powers and racial features in the upcoming books. lets try to be creative. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" /></blockquote>
