Hi,
Preparing for a campaign, playing half-elf summoner, drow flavoured.
I always loved archery in RPG, which got me thinking of what the options are with a summoner, who at high levels can get more arms.
If he had 4 arms, and went for TWF crosbows, he should be able to full round attack with two light crossbows, given the right feats, no?
Having 6 arms, he would loose TWF, and effectively loose attacks, I am guessing (because there is no improved/greater multiweapon fighting.
Is there a way he could use a longbow and a light crossbow with 4 arms and TWF, getting all attacks?
Input and ideas appreciated.

While you could do this, I would recommend against it. As your "offhand" weapon is not a light weapon, you'd have a pretty hefty penalty on all of your shots. Nifty concept, though.

I can dual wield light crossbows or handcrossbows, since they can be fired with one arm, and are light. With the extra two arms, I can reload them as a free action, with the right feats. So I think that could work somehow.

My mistake. I had forgotten about the text for the weapon stating that it's considered a light weapon when using two of them. I was operating under the assumption that they were merely considered ranged.
That could be quite a few attacks.
You might consider going with alchemist instead. With the vestigial arm discovery they're fairly easier to get (you can get two extra by 3rd level with the extra discovery feat)
