That would definitely be cool for some more variation in our character concepts

I am a big fan of this idea, and oddly enough, it has never occured to me.
/thumbs up
And thank YOU . It's been something I've hoped for awhile but never really had enough courage to suggest it.

I'm "in like flin" <--not sure where that started ... but, yes basically ... it would be cool.

I am all over this idea... if for no other reason so that I can have a character with a tentacle arm... though I would prefer one that doesn't double as a stuffed animal as the above pic seems to indicate. |

Great ideas. Would love to see some of these options for arms. We have the 1 or 2 or 3 option for upper body, upper arms. Love to see some of this stuff.
Not sure how feasible some of these would be with the 3d models and whatnot, but a cool idea!

Heck, use the existing torso and shoulder pieces and side bits for arms. Like the organic armor from the Mutant(?) pack, would make for a great alternate arm, in regular and thorny versions. Or Omega. Or Stone. Or Animal fur arm w/ monstrous hand. And the list goes on and on. There's a ton of different things that we already have in-game for arms and gloves that could work really well. It's just a matter of rethinking "robot arms 1, 2 and 3" to something a little bit broader design-wise.|

Or tights, with a handful of patterns, could give us an asymetrical costume look, without breaking things too much. Or bare arms(muscled or smooth) for a one-sleeve look.

Would be pretty nice. Rename Robot Arms to something like "Unique arms" or something.

A while back Magic: the Gathering had an expansion where a faction of the people replaced parts of their bodies with a magical metal called Etherium. Sometimes to extremes...
Like so:
I'd like to see arm options (and more) with the same kind of delicate looking, ornate scroll work.

How about something like this. Much Much smaller though, and possibly bird like so we use that Eagle head we got. Animation for flapping though not needed, I rather have the look first, then do /e flypose something.
Seeing as Swan and Black Swan have something similar, I can see that being possible.

Also meant to say to have hands at the end of each wing to allow for weapon holding and what not.
I would wholeheartedly agree to this. They could also(Sam has suggested this a few times) use a more muscular arms option for female characters and I'd add a less muscular arm for male characters. but yeah, monstrous arms, plant themed arms, maybe finned and tentacled arms would all be nice. A final note i'd add after trying to make a character with one robotic arm last night, lets see if we can add a few of the sleeveless jacket options for "Special" arms as well, kinda wanted a leather jacket with one look, but the robotic arm would not work with that.

This would be awesome. Potentially problematic with things like holding weapons, if you go for some of the more exotic options like tentacle arms, but eye beams look silly coming from an empty think tank too, and nobody complains about that.

I have a better one, dual pistols with a pirate hook hand. they allow it and i am happy that they do, if you are crazy enough to want it, they are crazy enough to allow it. just have a slight fold at the ends of the tentacles for grasping.

Dual pistols?
Try claws, especially the widow version with the hook hand...yay, flying metal blades.
That aside, I like the idea.

So I was thinking...What if we had other unnatural arms such as demonic arms or tentacles.
Here's some examples.
I'm sure this has been vouched for before.
