Is there any TF currently in the game that gives you extra arms?

Not that extra arms are of any use in the slightest to my knowledge, I just think it would be freakin' awesome...

Word of god is nothing will ever give you extra arms.  It would be far too much hassle for every content producer for far too little gain.

I'm rather doubtful that we'd be the one in one thousand who can actually control multiple arms. Assuming Dane is trustworthy on that information. Plus it would be a pain in the dick to code for and nobody would ever really use it.

So I guess giving all the handjobs ever simultaneously wouldn't be enough gain? That's a shame.

Honestly, I'm surprised it wasn't included in either Myr transformation.

Certainly not enough gain for every scene ever involving your arms (that is to say, almost all of them) to have to either include a fork or just forget you have extras.  Same reason changing your number of fingers is verboten, and same reason taurs will never get proper support from anyone.

I'd rather have them and have most scenes forget about them, and have just a few scenes that cater to having multiple arms. 


The taur situation is understandable because tauric bodies are quite a hindrance.

Or sell your body, only good things can come of this!!


Pretty sure that entirely goes against the principle of a paid commission. 

Here's how it works: You pay a writer to write stuff for you. They write you the stuff. Then you still need to have it added to the game. Fen and Co. aren't obligated to add a piece of content you paid another artist to create to the game.

Would an item like gene's synth arms be implemented that would allow for a second attack every round for melee characters or something, perhaps doing 25% of the first attacks damage. This seems like it could be a happy medium for this topic without forcing all the writers to accommodate a new exotic body type.

That's literally game breaking, everybody would have extra arms just for that extra attack then.

It can simply use acessory slot and act like drone. BTW, IMO drones should already have their own slot(s).

Sorry I didn't say so but I meant to say that the extra arms would be an accessory. And it wouldn't really be game breaking. My suggestion was that it would only be useful for melee characters, an alternative for people who can't use drones and don't play at tech specs. If a character doesn't invest in physique the item would be useless.

How do you even tame the varmint anyways? Is the wiki up to date in my need to be a bimbo to tame it?

Yes, bimbo-only for now. There are comment about future alternative in code, but no real options yet.

Damn. I wanted to give my puppy merc a puppy pal without giving up my mental faculties. Guess I'm waiting.

The same argument can be made against non-bipedal 


but yeah i also agree that it would be a mega hassle to have any additional arms.
