[QUOTE="Riley37, post: 6571204, member: 6786839"] Are there any PC-playable races with more than two hands? Can a tiefling hold an arcane focus in their tail and do somatic components with that focus-holding tail? Could a Bard use a musical instrument as an arcane focus, without actually playing it, just by gesturing with it? If you can allocate one of your three musical tool proficiencies to Voice, and then use your voice as a zero-handed arcane focus, then that seems quite handy, where by "handy" i mean "hands free for weapons, shields, torch, etc.". Hm. Could a shield be playable as a drum... if the person who made the shield, put in a bit of extra effort to make it drummable, and still effective as a blow-stopping shield? (Any SCA observations?)
