    Default Help making a player race

    I was wondering if anyone could help me with making or finding a custom race, I want to build a character based on Asuraman/Shivano from Kinnikuman, basically a 6 armed human, is there any way to do this in 3.5e without a huge level adjustment?

    The need for a level adjustment largely comes from the fact that tripling a character's number of arms triples their number of attacks. If you gave the race some sort of special restriction preventing them from using more than 2 arms for weapon attacks in any given round, it might be possible to do away with the level adjustment.

    Such a race will indeed never not have LA, but as far as huge is concerned… How big an LA would you consider huge? The Obah-BlessedDungeon136 template is basically what you want at LA +3, and if you drop Multiweapon Fighting as a bonus feat and most of the ability bonuses (+6 CHA on something looking that weird? +6 CON? Why? How?), you can likely shave off a point from that.

    Alternatively, the RLA thread gave the Aberrant Limbs unique NPC abilityDMG2 LA +1. Taking it twice (which I'm not sure is RAW-legal, but hey, we are talking RLA and homebrew) gets you the same 6 arms at the same LA +2. I'm not sure you can or should expect you can get that cheaper, though, barring some penalties elsewhere.
