Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gargoyle" data-source="post: 832855" data-attributes="member: 529">I agree that there seem to be no official guidelines.  Here's how I understand it though.First look at the multi-armed monk without the feats.  He uses the rules for the monk class:1.  His whole body is one natural weapon.  Monks can head butt, attack with elbows, kick, etc, so having extra arms doesn't help, just like having your arms cut off wouldn't stop you from making unarmed strikes.  2.  He would use flurry of blows to gain a single extra attack with unarmed strikes or monk weapons, instead of the rules for two-weapon fighting.  In this case, the extra arms just allow him to carry more things.Then with the feats, he has the option of using the two weapon fighting rules:1.  With Multiattack he has a number of natural weapons equal to the number of arms, and follows the rules in that feat description for multiple unarmed strikes.2.  With Multidexterity and Multi-weapon Fighting, he can use those rules to attack with each weapon held, like a marileth demon.  Note that you can't use a flurry of blows and two-weapon fighting at the same time to gain even more attacks.  The full attack action can do either for a multi-limbed monk, not both.  The monk with these feats must choose which rules system to use each round.</blockquote>
