Two Weapon Fighting with four arms?


Rules Questions


1 person marked this as FAQ candidate.

If a creature has four arms, could they two weapon fight with two-handed weapons like greatswords? Or would they still be limited to a single two handed weapon?

If they can, how would you calculate damage from strength for the off-hand? Would it still be 1.5 Str because it's still got two arms swinging it, or would it be less because you're two-weapon fighting?


Unfortunately, I've yet to see much in the way of rulings on the more interesting multiwielding, particularly as it's often relevant to eidolons. Not on two-handed weapons, nor on multiple bows.

In general, an off hand contributes .5x Strength and a main hand contributes 1x strength. That's how it was in Savage Species; the six-handed pruning shears from Hell dealt [damage]]+3.5xStr; +1 from the main hand, +2.5 for five off hands.


Hmm...

From what I remember it increases your STR per Weapon by +.5

But you need Double Slice to get the 1.5x STR on your Off-Hand.

Multiweapon Fighting is Possible unless the GM explicitly says no.
