Hm... I need to think about that myself. In part, because I was interrupted reading this thread, really want to respond to something posted earlier, but didn't want you to think I hadn't seen your post (since you quoted me... though that might be because it was the OP).

So, what I wished to address is the discussion about octopuses... it is something I thought had been suggested, but I can't find it now and I'm not sure if there was a RAW argument against it or not.

So, if a creature has X amount of arms but, mechanically, they function as or close to Y amount of arms, and X>Y, could that just be written off a Special Effect, or accounted for with a Limitation? I mean, if X<Y for the same scenario, so that a creature with fewer arms somehow managed to function as if it had Extra Arms, I'd expect to pay accordingly.
