Eventually I used the simple equipment slots available to most humans because that made the most sense of the available options.

Have you tried adding different numbers? I've only just had a look at the modding docs, and may be way off here, but here goes.

All the item slot value numbers are obviously binary based, and the arm values are 0-255. A lot of that isn't specified though in the docs, but I reckon it'd be possible to play with. Currently, these are the numbers for arms specified in docs:
0 arms = 1 = 10000000
1 arm = 2 = 01000000
2 arms = 6 = 01100000
3 arms = 14 = 01110000

So, I was thinking perhaps:
4 arms = 30 = 01111000
5 arms = 62 = 01111100
6 arms = 126 = 01111110
7 arms = 254 = 01111111

Anyway, I haven't done any modding myself, and this is only a guess as to how it works, it just looks like it should work this way. Thus to get 4 arms, you add 30, instead of the 14 for three, or 6 for two arms. Anyway, you could give it a try, don't blame me it it doesn't work though

sorry, double post.

Even AP melee weapons are rather rare on recruitables, if memory serves; the one widely available recruitable AP weapon seems to be a crossbow. Compare with Swords of Sharpness, which are not standard on anybody and require earth gems to forge.

I'll guess the 1.02 Version will have to include conVersion of those an to ap, still effective against SCs though, might lower the damage a little bit more as well.
I'll start work on 1.02 next sunday probably, maybe even tomorrow, I'll see.
I'll keep ya'll posted =P
