Sydite combat

[Eric]

What kind of bonuses would a sydite get for hand to hand to hand to hand combat?

It stands to reason that they would receive a grappling bonus at the very least. I was also thinking of a brawling bonus as well, since you have twice as many arms to deal with it's harder to know where a hit is coming from.

Sydites get strength and dexterity bonuses already, so you could argue that they already get a bonus.

True, but not quite what I had in mind. What I'm looking for is more of a martial arts view point.

According to the D20 System grapple rules, Sydites would not get any additional bonuses for having four arms. (To double check me, check out the Xill in the Monster Manual v3.5 or look at it on the Revised SRD. Their grapple check is +7, with is their +5 BAB and +2 STR, and nothing's added in for their four arms.)

That doesn't mean that you can't create a feat for them that grants multi-limbed creatures a +2 or even +4 on grapple checks, and add that feat to those general feats available in your game.

Hope this helps,

Are there not monster feats in one of the monster books that cover this ?
