Half-Octopus leg problem
I am working on a race right now where the bottom of them ends in octopus arms (upper half humanoid). But, I noticed that costs upwards of [280];
Extra Arm 8 (Extra Flexible +50%, Long 2 +200%) [280] I then was thinking of ways to just have a larger SM and take ways to make the upper body smaller. Sadly, Short Arms is a little overkill. Anyone have any ideas? |

Re: Half-Octopus leg problem
Take Stretching rather than Long; the reason Long is so expensive is the bonus to damage, which Stretching does not have.
Stretching (Arms Only, -20%) should be enough; this is 5/level. EDIT: Note that Extra Arms 8 is still going to be hella-expensive even without the Long enhancement. |

Re: Half-Octopus leg problem
Also consider what you want the legs to be able to do: real octopi should not have "extra arms 6": They can manipulate a lot of things, but tentacles cannot do as much as arms, and its debatable whether they should have extra-flexible: they don't work equally well for any facing.
Also note these are foot manipulators most likely, and probably effect the move speed.

I had already decided that No Legs (Slithers) was appropriate. Nice to know someone else does too. |

I kinda want to take this, if it weren't for the fact that I should instead take Extra Legs and then remove them for it to make sense. |
