-'''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. These extra arms are identical to normal arms in most respects; they can wear items like bracelets and bucklers, hold items and weapons in their hands, wear gloves and gauntlets on their "Worn on Hands" slot, and can be dismembered and regenerated just as normal arms can.
+'''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 hands granted by Multiple Arms have a mutation 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.
+The hands granted by Multiple Arms 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 is unaffected by the [[Dual Wield]] skill tree, but is affected by [[Jab]]; additionally, the extra arms will participate if [[Flurry]] is used.
-The arms and hands granted by Multiple Arms can be distinguished from any other arms and hands the player has by their designation as the player's "lower" arms and hands; for example, "Lower Left Arm", "Lower Right Hand", "Worn on Lower Hands", and so forth. Likewise, players with Multiple Arms will have their original, unmuted arms and hands designated as their "upper" arms and hands; "Upper Left Arm", "Upper Right Hand", "Worn on Upper Hands", and so forth.
+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".
-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.
+Due to the fact that {{AV}}[[AV]] and {{DV}}[[DV]] values are averaged across all limbs of identical type, having Multiple Arms means having to wear additional equipment to gain the same amount of AV and DV. On the other hand, most other effects, such as [[resistances]], stack.
-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.
+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.
