Howdy guys :) This is my first official GITP forum post EVAR! I've been perusing this site for tips n tricks for a while now and only recently discovered (in a box under my bed) the courage to actually make an account and join the discussion :-D
I know the forums have guidelines for where to post what, but in my limited exploration I was not sure where "Pathfinder" questions would go. So, general chat it was.
On to the question!
---
How does Multiweapon Fighting really work? I was reading the (fabulous) "Summoner's Handbook" on these forums (Making a Pathfinder Summoner, obviously) and it mentioned a "Kali" build, which is basically an Eidolon with a plethora of arms/hands each holding a simple weapon.
I get the idea, but I don't see anywhere in the rules where it explicitly demonstrates that having more arms actually gives you more attacks. Two-Weapon fighting (TWF) mentions offhand attacks, but that tree only lets you go up to 3 or so offhand strikes.
Is it assumed that an extra pair of limbs (with handheld weapons) grants you additional offhand attacks? Where might this be printed in any rulebook?
NOTE: My DM is using most of the Pathfinder material but we are not branching out much from there. So the Core, Advanced, and Ultimate books are what we're using.
NOTE: I'm familiar with how natural attacks work. This is NOT a question regarding natural attacks.
TL;DR
Where in the rules does it specifically mention that having multiple pairs of arms (complete with weapons) gets more offhand attacks with each weapon?

Thank you for your assistance :) I'm excited to officially be a part of this community, even in such small ways as mine!
