      As well as Hengband, Entroband, and Chengband. I'm not sure about Zangband, but there's a good chance it might to, and if it does, then Zangband+
      I'm trying to think of an analogy, and the best I can come up with is Angband is like fishing for sharks, and Sil is like hunting a bear with a pocket knife and a pair of chopsticks. It's not great. -Nick

        I'm pretty sure Zangband doesn't have dual-wielding.

          IMO dual wielding fails in *hengbands because you can't dual-wield rocket launchers.

          Sil also has dual-wielding, although there are some restrictions on it. (It's still very strong.)

            It should also be noted that some poscheng forms can wield 6 weapons at once <3

                Sangband has dual wielding, with some penalties, I thought about trying a dual wielding rogue type.

                    D&D only gave her 6: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marilith.

                      ToME 2 as well. I think it's possible to wield all three *thancs and get a bonus or something.

                        Mimicry and Possession skills allow you to get extra arms (via a spell or a suitable corpse), but it's a little bit broken/wierd so IIRC you get the bonuses from items in the extra arm slots, but not actual extra attacks. (I think. The code's a mess and it's hard to tell what actually happens.)
