Extra Arm only for two handing weapons
What would the limitation value be on Extra arm if it can only be used for bracing a one handed weapon or effectively wielding a two handed weapon one handed.
Or is there a better way to model this |

Re: Extra Arm only for two handing weapons
I would just go with Weapon Mount.

Re: Extra Arm only for two handing weapons
I as thinking that plus a small additional limitation of Not Only Hand or something and maybe Extra-Flexible so it can be used with either normal arm

Re: Extra Arm only for two handing weapons
An invisible, indestructible extra arm only useful for holding weapons is Extra Arm (Force Extension +50%, Low Signature +10%, Weapon Mount -80%) [8].
I had it on my last Dungeon Fantasy Mystic Knight and it was enormously worthwhile for carrying a shield while using a bow and then being able to switch immediately to two-handed katana use. If I'd had more points, I'd have upgraded to two of them and wandered around with a shield, katana, naginata, and a longbow and used any or all of them as the situation warranted.

Re: Extra Arm only for two handing weapons
the main difference is that my idea wouldn't allow you to hold a weapon with the extra arm unless you were also holding it with one of your regular arms
in effect you could use one arm as if it was two |

Extra Arm (Limb, -20%; Weapon Mount, -80%) [2] I don't think you need No Signature, just say he has a beefy/strong looking arm... it's not like it's invisible, and when he wields to handed weapons one handed, people will see! Rather than mess with Flexible, I would just buy it twice, once for each arm. |
