"Advanced morphic skin offers the same options as the basic model, as well as the ability to change your apparent sex and age, alter your height by up to 1 foot, and gain features of another species of the same creature type (although you don’t gain or lose abilities as a result)."
"Four armed
Kasathas have four arms, which allows them to wield and hold up to four hands’ worth of weapons and equipment. While their multiple arms increase the number of items they can have at the ready, it doesn’t increase the number of attacks they can make during combat."
Since four armed is a racial ability of kasatha, do all disguises made with the morphic skin have to have four arms? Can i make the second pair of arms very small or hide them with a poncho? if for example a human takes the form of a kasatha do they have 2 arms or 4 but one pair of arms is unusable?
I play the character in question with the society so asking the DM what they think is best is not possible. Just appearing as another person is useful already i just want to know if i can use it to imitate other species

Well it is, but if you get too much variation it becomes something to avoid.
A polymorph form has the shape and appearance of one base creature within limitations
As a disguise, this change in appearance is perfect, granting the target a +10 bonus to Disguise checks (either to appear to be a typical version of a generic form or a specific individual when using a unique form

The target’s features from classes, themes, and so on still work in its new form. However, its form could limit the usage of features it has. Rely on common sense and GM guidance in such situations
Common sense is OP! But allowed
These would strongly suggest that if you turn into a ysoki you're down to two arms. I don't think many SFS dms would say, not let you disguise yourself with 2 arms. But i think a fair number would object to the idea of a 4 armed ysoki that no one notices still shooting 4 pistols.

Thank you! I have sent this to the DM.
I’d allow a four armed Ysoki who looks like he has biochain extra arms augmentation. Not stealthy of course.
