[QUOTE="Lareit, post: 1046782, member: 12777"] Ridiculement, Nice, very mature. One thing about Insects and crustaceans. They are very different. Evolutionary, physically, etc. Also you should know bugs meaning virtually anything with an exoskeleton and insects are different too. Insects have 6 limbs. Period. Crustaceans are not subject to this rule. If you want to be purely sematical and exploit every way this is worded you can go on base physics. Insects have 6 limbs. No if's and's or but's about it. The Insectile ogre in the pic has 6 limbs in clear conjunction with the order of Insect. So do we belive that insectile chrs are +2ecl for 4 dex, 2 wis, 4 additional arms, tremorsense 60, climb, 2 natural ac, no flanking, +4 spot checks, darkvision. Which according to Pax, we get. I know he's exploiting the wording. I'm willing to bet good money he knows too he's exploiting the wording. I mean hell two levels behind, for an additional 4 attacks, granted at an extream modifier. But by the time you're epic level with perfect multi weapon fighting thats 24 attacks, to the figher with 2 arms 8. If you also want to start quoting words pax. Despite having 6 arms the insectile create gains no additional attacks. Thats a no additional attacks. Not no additional nautral attacks, or weapon based attacks. a clear cut no. You are correct under the wording here a human, now has 6 arms. However under the wording, precisely it means those 4 additional arms don't help his attacks per round at all. If you want to go by the wording exactly, you can't pick or choose which statments you want to follow. [/QUOTE]
