'''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. | |||
{{ | 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. | ||
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. | |||
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. | |||
