It seems the mythology is pretty clear on that. Shiva is a god and ruler of the others, and Kali is an aspect/form of his wife who shows up when faces need to be stabbed.
That's true, and shiva is just about the most manly Hindu god. Nevertheless...

Nope, that's why Shiva specifically has Multi-Weapon Fighting, not TWF.
Well shit, I missed that. I guess I was going by Maxus' original plan.
Pretty crazy, buy then again I suppose that a rogue Hindu god could grab epic multiweapon fighting at 10th level.

It gets better.

Apparently, Kali isn't bested often, and one of the few times she was beaten was when Shiva challenged her to a dance contest.

The mental image is of multi-armed Hindu gods dancing like the people at the party in here...

He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

An item that could cast girallon arms (from the spell compendium) would get you another two arms. At level 20, it could totally be added to a lesser item or something to make a moderate item.

Or I can take another Extra Arms feat, for a grand total of 8 arms.

But, honestly, the difference between six arms and eight arms is sort of like the difference between having Fire Resistance 5 versus not having it.

Or, if you will... "This burned corpse has a few tatters of charred flesh while this one over here is burned down to just a skeleton."

Only this time, Kali is playing as the overwhelming force. But despite the extra attacks and fun of another pair of arms, six arms is still mightily overwhelming and the feat slot could honestly go towards something else fitting the theme--like the Iron Will feat or something.
