Eighth Arm Break

Astrazoans who abandon or permanently lose one of their identities, likely due to a severed limb or exposure to an unreceptive host community, experience what's referred to as an Eighth Arm Break. Losing an identity is difficult and often traumatic for an astrazoan, usually signaling a turning point in their lives. The grief can be intense, but many use it as a time for personal growth. Some astrazoans consider the Eighth Arm Break to be a rite of passage into maturity. For astrazoan PCs, permanently losing an identity can also mean invalidating several feats they've chosen, and GMs should consider allowing an astrazoan in this situation to retrain all their ancestry feats at once.
