With 4 arm slots, if you don't use a lot of long weapons (thus over-reaching ambidexterity), your attack skill has a lot of room to improve, via the weapon bonuses.
Not any more than if you only had one weapon
Nothing related to weapon ATT bonuses, but it should be pointed out that when fighting big critters (of the sort that won't bow to a single blow), every attack (even unsuccesful attacks - IIRC) will reduce said critter's DEF by 1. In that special case, this is equivalent to granting a +1 ATT bonus to the second Naty attack, +2 ATT to the 3rd, +3 ATT to the 4th.

I think the best quote about the Natty is from Alex Podger:

"I give him 4 thumbs up!"

Pretty much sums up the Natty and why he is so good.

Quote:

very attack ... will reduce said critter's DEF by 1

Are you sure about this? I thought it was -1 per ATTACKER. This makes a rather large difference.

It's -1 defense per attack, which is why sleep vines are so great.

ok didnīt really think about the extra slots and got the costs wrong too. Still I think the nataraja is somewhat lacking compared to other titan sized pretenders.

Lacking what though? It's only real weakness is that it has only 1 miscellaneous slot, and everything else can be easily made up for with the extra weapons and the base cost of 0.

Yeah makes the natarajas imo a serious option to be wished for in lategame . With 4 arms you can make a combo which has both lifedrain weapon , an - weapon or flamebeau and a shield This way you are a normal SC as well as an Anti-SC

Voila. The Spell portion of the Mod series is complete enough for me to release.

The following post will be a semi-explaination of some of the changes, the reasoning and a few other tidbits.

Find the mod here: www.techno-mage.com/~zen/concepts14.zip or as an attatchment to the post.

For feedback, please use the Pretender God's formula for it, and it's best if you prequalify your feedback with which mod you are giving feedback for (Pretender Gods or Spells).
