Effect: The character possesses more than the standard human complement of dexterous appendages: two added for every dot he has in this power.  Whenever this character attempts to grapple an opponent, he may add a number of dice to his dice pool equal to the number of dots he possesses in Extra Arms.  

He may also attempt to grapple multiple opponents at once, to a maximum of one opponent for every dot in Extra Arms the character possesses; the character suffers a cumulative -1 penalty to all grappling rolls for each additional opponent grappled after the first.  The character may still only make one attack per turn in combat (unless Merits such as Fighting Style: Boxing or Fighting Style: Kung Fu are purchased).  

Furthermore, if the character is able to hold multiple automatic weapons and elects to fire a burst as his attack, he may elect to fire all of the guns at once and allocate the bullets fired between each weapon.  

Out of combat, of course, there are a great many benefits to having more than the standard number of hands; the Storyteller is the final arbiter as to what effect this has in-game, but as a general rule, the character should not be able to perform more tasks at once than his Wits or Intelligence (whichever is lower), and only if the tasks are not particularly mentally taxing.

Note: In this game, there are many ways to increase your chance of escaping a grapple or bypass a grapple entirely, while the grappler relies on Strength alone to prevent escape. Storytellers should consider giving characters with this power higher effective Strength for the purpose of holding a grapple.

Extras: 

Coordinated - As part of an all-out attack using Brawl, the character may add his Extra Arms dots to his dice pool.

Weakness

Indiscrete - The appendages may not be hidden or unmade when not in use. Otherwise assume they have some convenient means of being hidden.
