No Multi-Weapon Defense feat?

[TrueSpade]

Hey guys! I'm working on some stats for a Marilith Queen homebrew. Obviously shes gonna be alot tougher than the average.

While looking through some feats, I noticed that Multiweapon defense is non-existance, and Two weapon defense seems kinda weak, and maybe even a little inappropriate.

I guess at this level, I shouldn't care, but it still really bugged me.

So is there anything like Multiweapon Defense thats not that weak. If not, what would be a "fair" homebrew rule?

But... two weapon defense is weak.
Why would the proposed multiweapon defense be better?
A fair homebrew is to have your Marilith Queen have six +5 Defending swords dancing around her while she tears into you with another set of +5 weapons.

Definately an Epic idea haha! But the reason I thought "Multiweapon Defense" would have been good is, well since she's got more arms. Like I thought it could add a +1 shield bonus for every extra arm.

I also wanted that feat, for less epic, but tedious encounters. A +6 to AC isn't all that great, but I wanted to make homebrewed units that still had some real stuff in em'. (Like that feat if it were a real one XP)

I also didn't want to take away to much from Attack Bonus from fighting defensively or Combat Expertise.

The best defense is a good offense - go multiattack.

Honestly, this is what Mariliths have always been about. Use their natural defenses while assaulting head on. I know they're natural leaders and generals, but the books have always portrayed them as striking with snakelike ferocity.

Fight Defensively and get the Deadly Defense feat -- now every attack is getting +1d6 damage.

Use one of the arms for a shield instead of a weapon, mayhaps.

A pair of spiked bucklers would be good...

A pair of spiked bucklers would be good...

Actually... that would be a good feat: a feat that lets a character with three or more arms get a fixed AC bonus for using two or more shields.

Medium or larger shields would get in the way of one another, but two bucklers would be manageable. You could use them against different attacks or brace them together to get a double bonus against a single attack...
