So I saw a character build concept somewhere and I wanna see about the legality of said build.
What you'd do is take a level in either Barbarian (Titan Mauler maybe?) or Ranger (Two Weapon Fighting), then two levels in Alchemist. Pick up Extra Discovery as your 3rd level Feat and get two of the Arm discoveries (Feats that improve two-weapon fighting at lvl 1). Then you just grab a pair of two-handed weapons and get to work.
The entry for the arm reads as:
Benefit: The alchemist gains a new arm (left or right) on his torso. The arm is fully under his control and cannot be concealed except with magic or bulky clothing. The arm does not give the alchemist any extra attacks or actions per round, though the arm can wield a weapon and make attacks as part of the alchemist’s attack routine (using two-weapon fighting). The arm can manipulate or hold items as well as the alchemist’s original arms (for example, allowing the alchemist to use one hand to wield a weapon, another hand to hold a potion, and the third hand to throw a bomb). The arm has its own “hand” and “ring” magic item slots (though the alchemist can still only wear two rings and two hand magic items at a time).
So logically, if you take the arm Discovery twice, that would give you four arms, letting you wield two, say, greatswords by RAW. You'd have to pump everything into Two-Weapon fighting feats, but you'd be putting out some pretty sick damage.
So, legal/not legal?
Ask your GM while by RAW its legal the Devs have stated the intent wasn't to turn you into a double greatsword weilding monster.
That might work better than the great swords nad you need one less arms.
Expect table variation from some GMs and it would be best to tell them upfront what your doing so you can get your ruling there.
I think it sounds like an awesome build :) And as great fun, if RP'ed / build right. Just take care not to over-optimize in PFS play. It really is a lot less fun than people think. Maybe the new scenarios wich assume 6 PC's are a bit harder (haven't tried any of 'em yet), but the old scenarios (espeically early seasons) with optimized chars is often a cake walk.
