I know that 3.5 had a rule for creatures with more than 2 arms that each additional hand holding a 2-handed weapon allowed you to add 1/2 your STR mod to the damage.

Does Pathfinder have the same rule?

No matter how many hands you have, you can only hold a 2-handed weapon in two of them; you don't get additional benefit for using more. However, the remaining hands are free to do other things, unless the ability you used to get them says otherwise. (Hold a shield, retrieve/manipulate items, cast spells, deflect arrows etc.)

There might be a feat in that Kasatha book about this but I don't know of one.

Darn. I had an idea for a summoner. I suppose I could still do it with multiweapon fighting, but it wouldn't be quite as fun.
