Another spell that gives additional arms!
« on: April 21, 2012, 02:13:11 AM »
Arms of Plenty (level 3 sorc/wiz, TOUCH RANGE) Lords of Madness page 209.

Give the target 2 additional arms that can make attacks, as well as a rend. A few things of note:

"Since the claws are primary attacks, you can attack with them in addition to making your weapon attacks without penalty."

Unfortunately though:

"The claws cannot be used to wield weapons or manipulate objects."

2 additional attacks at 1d6+str, then a rend for 2d6+1.5*str. Not bad for a buff to stick on your BFS at lowish levels.

Now, how can we abuse gaining an obscene amount of arms to use Fuse Arms for a retarded bonus to death causing?

Anthropomorphic Octopus (SS) : 5 arms (2HD +1LA)
Girallon arms Soulmeld (Totem Chakra) (MoI) : 2 arms
Deepspawn (Feat) (LM) : 2 tentacles
Illithid Grapple (Feat) (CPsi) : One tentacle, can be taken up to 4 times, grants Imp. grab with tentacle.
Aboleth Tentacle (FF) (Graft) : Tentacle
Clawed Arm (FF) (Graft) : Extra arm (50k)
Flexible Arm (FF) (Graft): Extra arm (27k)
Grappling Tentacle (FF) (Graft) : Extra tentacle (20k)
Long Arm (FF) (Graft) : Extra arm (5k)
Rending Claw (FF) (Graft) : Extra arm (5k)
Enervating Arm (FF) Graft) : Extra arm (40k)
Paralyzing Arm (FF) (Graft) : Extra Arm (40k)
Serpent Arm (FF) (Graft) : Extra Arm (12k)
Form of Doom (PsiPower) : 4 extra tentacle attacks

I've probably missed some. And quite a few of those do not specify being able to grasp or "use as arms".
Normally, I would be reading this, open the reply box, decide what I had to say didn't need said, and close out. But this is just too ridiculous.

Evard's Menacing Tentacles from PHBII.  Fairly useful spell in my opinion as it lets you get 2 attacks in as a free action.
