I don't think it's actually possible to use that second two hander at the same time as the first.
Whereas I can't see it being any different to a 2 armed creature with a weapon in each hand really - assumedly multi-limbed creature's brains are wired to handle such logistics.
Hey, if a Marilith can manage
six swords at once, I don't have a problem with 2 hands on each blade working. :>
But as GamerHandle says, it is ultimately up to the GM.
mofo99:
Skald's offering of 0.5 + 0.5 does make sense if Off-hand = 0.5. But the trick is whether or not the pair of hands working together is stronger than simply the sum of its parts.
I don't think it
is any stronger - the calculation of normal two handed damage allows for x1 for primary and x0.5 for secondary, which gives the x1.5 total bonus - so simply the sum of the bonuses that you'd get for wielding a one handed weapon in that particular hand.
So following that rule it seemed logical that wielding the weapon with two secondary arms each with x0.5 STR bonus would get x0.5 + x0.5 = x1.
Edit: ah, thanks for that - 3.5 Savage Species does indeed spell out "each hand used beyond the first adds 1/2 the wielder's strength bonus to the damage". :>
