Buffs to octopodes.
I have some suggestions and was wondering what you all thought of each one:
- 6 extra auxiliary attacks: I don't think any race could so much as touch Op in the DPS department (at least in terms of melee) if they were to have this. The big issue is that those tentacles are already used for constriction. However, you can already attack with a shield while constricting 8 enemies at once with only 8 tentacles, so flavor has already been thrown out the window for gameplay purposes anyway.
- Cleaving auxiliary attacks: As above, but the 6 extra attacks separate to hit as many different targets as possible with a chance of constriction as normal. Constricted enemies are automatically hit with constriction damage as normal, but the currently constricting tentacle gets a free, unavoidable attack on top of that.
- Constriction lowers evasion: Imagine that you were to constrict an enemy and suddenly you scored automatic hits on them with your main weapon.
Blade Hands Cleaving makes my mouth kinda water. If this were to be a thing then Blade Hands should no longer allow constriction.
