Additional Arm without Alchemist levels


Advice

Silver Crusade

Hello everyone,

I have a Wayang Oracle using Shadow X spells who would like to cast while using both a Rod of the Wayang and a Shadow Stencil Set. This however leaves him out of hands to actually cast. Items such as Arms of the Marilith are of no use cause they cannot be employed as part of the spellcasting, nor items held by them can be used either. The only solution that I managed to find is the spell Gift of the Deep, which however lasts too little.

Do you know of any magical items or spells that would allow me to get an extra arm in a permanent (or at least hours per day) way? Things to keep in mind:

- The character needs to be Small, so no Greater Hat of Disguise + Kasatha. Small multi-armed humanoids are fine however.
- No multiclass.
- No additional feats.
- Off-list spells are available via UMD.

Thank you all for your help!


I couldn't find anything PFS legal. But if you're allowed to design and craft your own magic items, or research spells, there may be some options, up to the GM's discretion. You could try to add the Dancing weapon quality to the Rod of Wayang, freeing your hand. You can try to merge Rod of Wayang with a Still Metamagic Rod. You can craft an item that lets you use Gift of the Deep at will, or have it as a constant effect. Or you can design your own spell that gives you what you want. The spell however would have to be of high level: as you noticed, and Gift of the Deep (lvl 4 spell) has a short duration and Phantom Limb (at least lvl 5 spell, a bit better duration) doesn't let you use items with the extra hands. So the spell that gives you what you want would have to be lvl 6 or 7.


I'm not sure what happened to my post. I'll apologize now if it shows up and I end up double posting by accident.

The only thing I was able to find that meets your pre-reqs is

Harness of Grabbing Vines + Wings of Flying

It's expensive, but basically it would let you use the wings to manipulate and hold objects as if they were hands. Unlike a lot of the things I found, it doesn't say that they can't be used to manipulate objects or cast spells. So they should be sufficient to use said items while leaving both hands free for the actual spell casting, provided of course that you're not trying to use the wings to fly.


Would Monkey Belt holding the Rod of the Wayang work?
