For one, multi attacks could be used specifically for those mobs with
more
than one head. etc..
As for limb based attack, that could be handled in spec procs/skills?
Like bash, spells, etc.. spec proc to cast (blow fire), whip with tail,
etc.
(dg scripts would probably help with that too)
I am sure you get the idea.
