Could also be a defense, but can't think of a good selection of powers that make sense.

Customizable "Weapons"

Human Arms, Tentacles, Monster Arms, Pincers, etc.

Everyone always forgets about Stalkers, as if they're not a melee AT...

and people were asking me "Why only a Tanker/Stalker set?" when I made my Death Scythe set...

Anyway, I could actually see this just being wrapped into alternate animations for Super Strength. I could imagine so many alternate animations for Martial Arts but I was drawing a blank on Super Strength. Multi-arms sound like a possibility.

Can I have 1 arm on one side, and 3 on the other? And guns...4 guns!

Would it be kinda cool to have 3+ arms? Yeah, I think so.

But... I don't see this happening anytime soon. The skeletons just aren't put together to include a spot for extra arms... Not to mention the animation system. Literally every animation would need to be re-engineered so that the arms do not clip with one another.

Massive Work for BaB and Co. + Minimum Payoff = Not Gonna Happen.

I can draw strength from a tendency to champion things that other people say that the devs would never put in.

Side-Switching and Power Customization for instance.

Now if only I can add brush style fox/wolf/dog tails to that list.

Oh well, give it another five years.

Btw, yeah, my family and I have long looked at enemies to predict what was coming for players.

All the way back to when the Tsoo suddenly started throwing shuriken at us instead of all using bows like the Eagle.
