C) They do NOT use your full Str bonus.  Only the first claw is a primary weapon (assuming you have no other primary natural weapon).  The other 3 claws are secondary weapons, and only get 1/2 +Str (all 4 claws would be secondary and get 1/2 +Str in the presence of a manufactured weapon or other dominant primary natural weapon).  D) Girallon Arms are claws and don't have any indication that they are capable of wielding weapons.  Thus, they can't wield weapons, alone or in combination with other limbs.  They are natural attacks.  E) A Drow Scorpion Chain is NOT Light.  Its an exotic 2hander with reach, able to trip, has a bonus to disarm, and is EXPLICITLY finessable despite not being light, the exact same as a normal Spiked Chain.   The only difference is the damage and threat range. Please, if you are going to give advice on a forum, do your homework first.  People spreading false information is bad for the community.</blockquote>
