4 armed characters

muscle memory isn't in the actual muscles you fucken retard.

This is like saying spiders find it harder to walk than we do because 8 legs requires more coordination. This shit is all low level processing in the brain

>muscle memory isn't in the actual muscles you fucken retard.
it's a mental map of how your muscles were used during a certain action. your brain has specific connections to each limb that are similar but not fully shared 1-to-1 between limbs.

do you think you're able to do something just as easily or efficiently with your left hand just because you can do it with your right? why wouldn't the same principle apply to something with 4 limbs?

>This is like saying spiders find it harder to walk than we do because 8 legs requires more coordination
complete non-sequitur. spider brains and limbs have almost no similarity to our own.

That's a retarded comparison. Playing piano is much more difficult with two hands than with one.

Assuming it's a mutation in the first place.

No matter how many arms you have, you'll only be forewarned - never sixwarned

One of the main races in my game has four arms like the OP. One set of arms is dominate, but that can be any pair. 80% are top dominate, 10% bottom, 4% for right or left dominate, and the remaining 2% are opposite corner arms dominate. The remaining arms are slightly less coordinated than the average person's off hand.

Mechanically, in game they count as always having a hand free for casting/ climbing/swimming/ drawing or stowing. They don't have the range of motion to effectively use 4 weapons. I'm a fight, they tend to fold their arms behind their back like a fencer might, unless it comes to bare handed combat, then it's all in. The extra arms narratively give them an advantage in magic, allowing for more complex somatic components. This makes them the masters of ritual magic, being able to work complicated magics in short order.

You have to spend more on magic items/clothes that fit since most are only going to have two arm holes. Need two sets of bracers or two sets of gloves for them to work. Maybe the extra muscle mass in the chest and legs needed to support more arms means you're less limber/dextrous and heavier so less stealthy/acrobatic ie dex penalty? Maybe one set of arms is dominant so the second set has disadvantage on attack rolls/no modifier added even with two weapon fighting?

Finding suits that fit.

Most of your calories are burned by your brain, liver and other organs. Skeletons and bones are only about 20% total so extra limbs wouldn't increase your required energy intake by that much.

Indian gods do not have more than two arms. It's an artistic device.
