So.

A changeling with a Functional Tail: Thagomizer. They want to split their dice pool between two melee weapons (one in each hand) and the Exotic Weapon of the tail. Simply take the lesser Attribute + Skill total of the two weapon types, split it three ways, and then modify each separate attack? It kinda feels like that's too simple, or that I'm missing something important somewhere.

Also, unlike Shiva Arms, the Thagomizer entry makes no mention of requiring Ambidexterity, so I assume it simply gets treated like a second "dominant hand" automatically?

Additionally, would the Sangre y Acero bonus "+1 die for Exotic Melee Weapon attacks using a cyber-implant in an unusual location" count for the tail? Because it's essentially the exact same thing as a cyber-implant in an unusual location, just biological in nature.

For that matter, how do you handle the Two Weapon Style maneuver in cases of more than two limbs? Can one limb be used for the Full Defense action while all the rest are used to attack?
