Ball of Arms Man [3.5]

[kulosle]

Is this possible in D&D 3.5? I swear I saw a extra limbs feat but now I can't find it. Is there a spell stacking method?

For those of you who don't know who Ball of Arms Man is check this (http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/12373973/) out.

Girallon Arms soulmeld + Girallon Arms spell would give you 6 total limbs, I'm sure there are others.

Start as a Thri-kreen for 8 total.

[kulosle]

Is there any other creature that starts with a lot of arms? So I talked to a friend and he remembered the feat I was talking about. There is a book called the evil handbook that has a demon pact feat called Extra Limbs. We can't remember if it's third party or not. It probably is seeing as how I can't find it.

Has anyone statted out a Roving Mauler/Buer (http://img855.imageshack.us/img855/9995/mauler.jpg) as a PC thing? I mean, yeah, it's not a whole lot of arms, but it's built off of the same concept.

Insectile template from SS gives you extra arms.

[Claudius Maximus]

The Odopi in MMIII is basically this. Don;t think it's playable as a race, but you can probably transform into it.

Go Pathfinder. Take Alchemist. Every discovery is extra arms or extra tentacles.

You may now creep out little children as an immediate action. Congratulations.

The spell "Arms of Plenty" is two more

Does it stack with Girallon's Blessing?

[Devmaar]

I think it should, the spells don't give a '+2 bonus to arms', they simply grant additional limbs, so bonus stacking rules don't apply

Symbionts can come in 'extra arm' form. Impure prince can attract a symbiont, and can attract a new one whenever it dies. Symbiont's key fetures are in their subtype, which zombies maintain after death. So... attract symbiont. Kill. Animate. bond with zombie. Repeat as necessary until you have ball of (undead) arms man. Each symbiont is its own creature with its own actions. They share spells, so you can pile buffs on yourself and they apply to all of your symbionts. Let loose with a thousand deadly touch attacks.

[TroubleBrewing]

Heh. Nah, I was just asking if it called out other spells specifically as not stackable.

Ah, The Nasty Gentleman. Classic, classic build. I made an NPC like this for a game once. The players, to this day, always expect copious amounts of chest tentacles from everyone they meet.

The lamia soulmeld gives you extra claw attack with your feet I believe.

This is just my input, not sure if it'd all work but hey, if it does that'd be funny.

that sounds like fun. i' going to hit the books and see if that all stacks. what classes would this character take?

[hisnamehere]

Don't forget to check out the 'tall mouther' from Monsters of Faerun. They're large, tho. 6 arms, no legs. Aberration (of course).

Also, I'm hoping to come up with a LA +0 tall mouther here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=220143).
Any help is appreciated.

Something like this (http://www.minmaxboards.com/index.php?topic=1170.0) ?

[kulosle]

i'm literally looking for the ridiculousness of having way too many arms. i'm not really interested in attacks although he would obviously have a lot of them.

and yes that all stacks. 16 is rather nice, but it isn't obnoxious. if there isn't a feat out there that gave you extra arms, how would one go about making one?

[nedz]

The build I linked to gets lots of attacks primarily by having lots of arms.

[Ksheep]

I'd have to agree with Nedz and suggest the Lizzipede. Great choice for insane numbers of arms/legs/tentacles, giving an insane number of attacks.

[kulosle]

If I followed this correctly then would this person only have this many arms for a short amount of time?

[nedz]

As I read it the creature has: 102 legs, 8 arms, 4 more arms, 12 heads and 8 tentacles; before the temporary madness:smallbiggrin:

Don't know what you're talking about with "temporary" madness. Most of what happens is through items, with Leg of Squid Pirate Peg-leg turning each of the legs into 10 tentacles and Gloves of Man on each of the tentacles, giving you a hand on each tentacle… leaving you with over 1000 "arms" just from the legs.

Also, it uses a fair number of grafts, which (if I recall correctly) are more or less permanent. The only downside to this approach is the ludicrous cost…

[nedz]

I may have mis-read the build. I saw some spell-casting and assumed everything that followed was temporary buffs.

[kulosle]

Oh okay yeah i made a similar mistake. It's funny that balls of arm man is made in D&D through having lots of legs cut off.
