'''Multiple Arms''' is a [[Mutations#Physical Muations|physical mutation]] that grants ~~the player~~ two ~~extra~~ arms, ~~complete with~~ two ~~extra~~ hands~~, two extra arm slots~~, and one ~~extra "worn~~ on hands~~" slot~~.

'''Multiple Arms''' is a [[Mutations#Physical Muations|physical mutation]] that grants additional body parts: two arms, two hands, and one Worn on Hands slot. Like other arms and hands, they can wear equipment such as bracelets, bucklers, and weapons, and can be dismembered.

The ~~arms~~ granted ~~by Multiple Arms~~ have a level-based chance to attack with whatever weapon they're holding (or their fists if their hands are empty) ~~every time the player makes an attack~~ in melee. This chance ~~is unaffected by~~ the [[~~Dual Wield~~]] skill tree~~, but is affected by~~ [[Jab]]~~; additionally, the extra arms will participate if they player uses the~~ [[Flurry]] ~~ability~~.

You gain more [[Offhand]] attacks with Multiple Arms. The granted hands have a mutation-level-based chance to attack with whatever weapon they're holding (or their fists if their hands are empty) when attacking in melee. This chance stacks additively with the [[Multiweapon Fighting]] skill tree. Attacks can benefit from [[Jab]] and [[Flurry]]. Granted arm slots also gain this chance to attack, if they have a weapon.

~~Due to~~ the ~~fact~~ that {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] values are averaged across all limbs of identical type, ~~having~~ Multiple Arms ~~does not grant the player an advantage in the way of~~ wearing ~~extra glove pieces, as wearing two identical pairs of gloves will still grant~~ the same ~~{{AV}}~~AV and ~~<br>{{DV}}~~DV. ~~Indeed~~, ~~this can work to the player's detriment~~, ~~as wearing only one pair~~ of ~~gloves will halve the usual~~ {{AV}}~~AV and~~ {{DV}}~~DV values granted by them~~.

When a normally two-handed creature, such as the default player body, has Multiple Arms, the arms and hands that are part of the ordinary body plan are distinguished by the word "Upper", whereas the ones granted by the mutation are "Lower".

Since {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] values are averaged across all limbs of identical type, Multiple Arms means wearing additional equipment to gain the same amount of AV and DV. Most other effects, such as [[resistances]], stack instead of averaging.

Hands granted by Multiple Arms aren't affected by {{F|Flaming Ray}} or {{F|Freezing Ray}} unless there are no other eligible hands. Having more hands doesn't affect eligibility for these mutations; having one still disallows gaining the other.

This mutation does ''not'' grant any missile weapon slots.

Multiple Arms does not specially interact with other mutations which also affect the hands slot. For example, the [[Flaming Hands]] mutation will still only affect one pair of hands, and will still prevent the player from taking the [[Freezing Hands]] mutation.

Line 158:

* Allows for the player to make more melee attacks per turn, dealing more damage as a result

* Can make the early game less painful for dual-wielding builds, as the player can carry a non-floating [[:Category:Light Sources|light source]] and dual-wield at the same time.

* Can make the early game less painful for dual-wielding builds, as the player can carry a non-floating [[:Category:Light Sources|light source]] and dual-wield at the same time

* Extra hand slots allow for unconventional equipment combinations, such as dual wielding with a shield

* If Multiple Arms is used only for extra slots to equip [[relic]]s for their mutations and stat boosts and not to attack, it can be left alone as level 1 to spend the mutation points somewhere else with no significant detriment

Line 160:

Line 164:

=== Disadvantages ===

* High cost at character generation

* The extra hands and arm slots mean that the player will need to find two of a single armor piece to gain the same [[AV]] and [[DV]] as they would without the mutation

* The extra hands and arm slots mean that the player will need to find two of a single armor piece to gain the same {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] as they would without the mutation

* How often the arms attack are not affected by the [[Dual Wield]] skill tree, though [[Jab]] in the [[Short Blade]] skill tree does. To attack often with them, the mutation itself must be leveled
