[QUOTE="IcyCool, post: 2766773, member: 20308"] Part of the problem here is that Savage Species isn't really 3.5, and it isn't really 3.0. The references to multidexterity is a 3.0 reference, and so is the weapon category "medium". The reference to Multiweapon fighting is useful though. That seems to imply that this is a manufactured weapon. If you look at the multiweapon fighting feat, it replaces the Two-weapon fighting feat for a critter with 3 or more attacking limbs. To my understanding, you'd suffer the normal two-weapon fighting penalties. As such, you'd have a primary hand, and all of your other limbs that were attack would be your "off-hands". If you have the multi-weapon fighting feat and your off-hand weapons are light, then each attack is at -2. Assuming that there is a light weapon version of the tail weapon, you could have a lizardman attack with a longsword in his primary hand, a shortsword (light weapon) in his off-hand, and a light tail blade in his "off-hand/tail". All of those attacks would be at -2. Unfortunately, Savage Species doesn't use the whole "light/one-handed/two-handed" weapon categories. Going from the 3.0 PHB though, I see that most 3.5 light weapons were "small" in 3.0, and most one-handed weapons were "medium" in 3.0. So my guess is that the "medium" tail weapon is not light.
