Hi.
Ok, I am not quite sure of some of the interpretations I have made regarding a character in my campaign. It is an NPC and I am the DM, so of course I could houserule everything but I would rather have things not clash with something official that I have missed.
Basically, the character is a Lolth-touched Insectile (non-psionic) Thri-Kreen Bar1;Fig1;WaB3. Yes, quite the monstrosity and an abomination in more ways than one. Considering that the campaign is about an insect-breeding Daelkyr, however, this is quite common among the antagonists.
The questions are:
1. He has Multiweapon Fighting and Multidexterity (3.X). He wields 4 Greatswords using his primary 4 hands and supporting each sword with one of his Insectile extra hands. Due to Multidexterity, it seems that there are no penalties associated with such wielding at all, right?
2. Also, the secondary weapons would seem to have (full) Str mod to damage (but not x1.5) since off-hand weapons deal x0.5 Str but Savage Species p. 42 specifies each hand adding x0.5 Str to the damage, resulting in a net total of x1 Str. Would this be correct?
3. He has pounce from Lion Totem. Using Battle Leader's Charge, will the 10 extra damage be added to each attack or only the first? I did search the net for this one, and it seems that there is no consensus. However, opinions are welcome.
4. Also, does Leading the charge include you as an ally or not? It has been argued that normally you count for these kinds of effects; however, White Raven seems to differentiate between "allies" and "you and your allies".
