Does having four arms enhance a formicid's unarmed combat?
If not, SHOULDN'T IT?

IMO remove the reference to four arms already. All it does is confusing people into thinking dwants should wear 2 sets of gauntlets, 4 rings etc.
Just say something about how their insect arms are unusually strong.

Since their gimmick is now just 2H + shield:
"In addition to their 2 normal arms, they have 2 vestigial limbs which are not dextrous enough to do anything but wield a shield effectively."

If I was your DM I would say "No. If the arms are too inept to do anything but wield shields then they are too inept for that too." Surely there is a better explanation rp-wise? "The mishappen claws of their middle limbs are not conducive for fighting, nor wielding most objects though a shield can be fitted (somewhat awkwardly) over them.)"

Then people will would probably ask "how much
stronger are my formicids insect arms in unarmed combat?" : P

Fun fact: every time you type a sentence containing "fun" in webtiles chat, a bot announces it in ##crawl-dev.

I must remember that when I talk to bystanders about Fundamental Functional Fundaments.

I'm more of a "Parent's just don't understand" kinda guy.
That having been said, thanks everyone for hijacking this thread into uselessness.
There
is an actual issue here, and something should be done if for nothing else, than to prevent future misconceptions.

It was first posted in DCA and got reported out, but had already yiufed itself before then. I am happy to split it, or please make a new proper thread in GDD as you see fit.
