[QUOTE="Patryn of Elvenshae, post: 2304767, member: 23094"] Well, I won't yell at you for holding the "too videogamish" opinion - you're allowed to hold as many opinions as you want, even if they're wrong. :D That being said, take a look at the creature he was designing. It's a six-armed hellbeast, with special training in six different weapons. Presumably, it would want to work like the marilith, able to cut foes apart with multiple weapons at the same time. How do you represent the ability to do so skillfully? With the multiweapon fighting feat. Is it more powerful? Certainly; a -10 penalty on every attack you make is a pretty ridiculous penalty to accept if you can, with a flick of the wrist, make your monster *competent* at what it's supposed to do. There's a difference between "min / maxxing" and "making sense." A 33HD Outsider - as in, "bigger than a Balor" - that is functionally incompetent doesn't make sense. MWF makes sense for such a creature. [/QUOTE]
