Thri-Kreen and Two-Handers

[torrasque666]

Can Thri-Kreen dual wield two-handed weapons due to having four arms? I was wondering due because the image of a Thr-Kreen going Tiger Claw Warblade using two GreatAxes is funny to me.

I'm almost certainly they can. They're capable of wielding four light or one-handed weapons. Thus, they're capable of wielding two double weapons. And double weapons are two-handed weapons.

Also, why use two greataxes when you can MWF with Gythkas? Four hands' worth of attacks at 1d10+Str is, IMO, better than two hands' worth at 1d12+1.5*Str. It gets even nastier with Tiger Claw; Greater MWF + Raging Mongoose = 21 attacks. GMWF on its own gives you 13. (and with both of those you still get your bite as a secondary :smalltongue: )

I think it would be the normal -6/-10, or -4/-4 with TWF, for greataxes. Another point in favor of Gythkas, at least for me.

What would the penalties be then? Would it just be -6/-10 (-4/-4 with TWF)?

Yes, except you would take Multiweapon Fighting, not Two Weapon Fighting. See www.d20srd.org/srd/monsterFeats.htm

I knew that, I was just referencing the standard rules for fighting with two weapons.

The iconic thri-kreen TWFs exotic double weapons. Your answer is yes.

The answer to the question you're not asking is, "yes they can TWF long bows too."
