In my tests the following happens on a 4 handed character, you can wield:
4 one-handed weapons, only 1 gets the primary bonuses unless you have the feats that grant off-hand weapons the damage bonus.
1 two-handed weapon and 2 secondary weapons. The two-handed weapon gets the primary bonuses.
If you have a shield equipped, there is a bug. You can somehow wield a shield even when your hands are completely occupied (like the 4 weapon scenario), there's something wrong with the logic. You can also only wield only 1 shield ever, HL throws a validation error if you try to load 2 shields. I think this is due to the base D&D logic for calculating armor.

i will give this a shot, if not, then i can have a regular two-armed variant that i can work with. thanks
Another thing though. They also have a higher AC than normal due to their natural Carapace (Being Bugs and all), and they cannot wear normal armor to account for this. they can still use a shield but just not armor. In my description, they add their CON Modifier to their AC as well as their DEX Modifier. how would i go about this?
