Message: <blockquote data-quote="Patryn of Elvenshae" data-source="post: 2383354" data-attributes="member: 23094">The Multiweapon Fighting feat does not allow you to use natural attacks - it applies to manufactured weapons only.  So, you'd need to be wielding weapons in each of those other three hands.No, because an Unarmed Strike isn't equivalent to an arm.  It's a weapon in its own right that is always available.  In other words, a human has two arms and two legs - he doesn't have two Unarmed Strikes available to him, let alone 4.  He's got one.A human can make an off-hand attack with an unarmed strike even when he's using a tower shield and a longsword.Similarly, a thrikreen doesn't have 6 limbs available for unarmed strikes - he's got six limbs and one unarmed strike weapon.If you have a weapon in all of your hands, you can use them in conjunction with an unarmed strike.  Note, however, that for a monk, "There is no such thing as an off-hand attack for a monk striking unarmed."Interpretations about what that actually means are varied, but my reading is that it means what it says, that there is no such thing as an off-hand unarmed attack for monks.Generally, a character can only fight with two weapons in any given turn - a primary and an off-hand.  A human holding a longsword and a shortsword could not use both in conjunction with an unarmed strike (as this would be combining three weapons).Multiarmed characters, then, present an interesting situation.  Can they make an unarmed strike as a primary attack and then treat all wielded weapons as off-hand attacks?I think they can.Therefore, you could hold a weapon in each of your four hands and treat your unarmed strike as your primary attack.  The weapons, then, are off-hand attacks.  This gives a -4 penalty on all of your attacks this round (assuming at least one of those weapons is not light).You then get to make all of your monk attacks as normal, and then two attacks with each hand (per Improved Multiweapon fighting).Note that if you Flurry, you again fall under the requirement that you may use only unarmed strikes or monk weapons.</blockquote>
