A side note: The original post can't seem to decide if you're using a marilith, a lizoctataur, or a lizzipede.

That's because it has used all three, depending on the incarnation. I'm sure Ejo is just giving recognition to how it came to be. Marilith was first, then we hit the lizoctataur. And this morning we upgraded to lizzipede.
Edit: 1,000th post :P

More templates! One we can apply directly to our Lizardfolk.

Insectile Creature adds four arms that cannot be used for attacks. However, we can graft Aboleth Tentacles both above and onto these limbs. Eight more offhand progressions is about six and a half thousand more attacks.

If we can type-fix to Magical Beast at any point, Arachnoid Creature (FR: Underdark) adds six legs, which converst to sixty tentacles. We could use the Manual of the Planes version of Shadow Creature.

If you used a dvati (Dragon Compendium) as the base creature, the result would be a creature with two bodies, doubling the number of attacks. That would kinda defeat the point, though...
My work
The tier system in a nutshell:
[spoiler]Tier 6: A cartographer.
Tier 5: An expert cartographer or a decent marksman.
Tier 4: An expert marksman.
Tier 3: An expert marksman, cartographer and chef who can tie strong knots and is trained in hostage negotiation or a marksman so good he can shoot down every bullet fired by a minigun while armed with a rusted single-shot pistol that veers to the left.
Tier 2: Someone with teleportation, mind control, time manipulation, intangibility, the ability to turn into an exact duplicate of anything, or the ability to see into the future with perfect accuracy.

Well Chuck has just over 1000 full-round actions, and you're above him by a factor of 4 (good job!), so you still need 250 times more. That's 8 Doublings.

You've secured the attack number for a single action, so you've earned a place in the record thread. Now to make the number as high as possible...

Edit: As a side note, I'd like to know how much money this character costs to equip and how many campaign setting you've bankrupt to do so. ;)

He's at 200 million? Thought he was at 2 million.

And 4 base doublings would cover it, since each base doubling is a x4 to the off-hands.

Can we try Aptitude Crescent Knives and Boomerang Ricochet?

I'm not sure how mainy attacks that would give us, but it's at least a main-hand doubling.

EDIT: And swap out some levels, we need to steal Sweeping Strike!

Some time ago I cranked up the "CO's Response to Fastest Possible Speed" version into THIS monster:
http://forums.gleemax.com/showthread.php?t=993832

THAT Chuck broke the speed of light, which doesn't sound like much in Theoretical Op, but when working off purely finite game mechanics it's not an easy thing to do.

1,104 Turn Undead attempts. Each translates to a Swift Action which translates into a Full-Round Action with Greater Celerity Shenanigans.
Base Speed is 1152140 ft, and he can travel twice that in a full-round action and every 10 ft is a throw.
So 1104 * 230428 is how much Chuck can make if he only cares about attacks and not damage. For damage he starts out with some Run actions to improve the average.

So that comes to...254,392,512...

4 doublings(assuming the doubling translates to x4) would give you 241,905,664. Add in a couple attacks of anything and you've got it.

Even if you fall short, you've already impressed me by how many you're making with finite game mechanics. If nothing else you can be called the "Million-hit Monster"
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

A note on Sweeping Strike: It doesn't give additional attacks; it merely lets you apply the same attack to an additional target. It -might- work as a doubling, depending on your definition, but it won't trigger more attacks from Perfect Multi-Weapon Fighting.

Oh well. Boomerang Ricochet is still a main-hand doubling.... I think.

If it is, that takes us to 1,914,002 attacks.

Are Crescent Knives Slashing Weapons?

If so, make one of the Illithid Savant feats Slashing Flurry from PHB 2 for an additional attack in the full-attack routine.

Moment of Clarity of a 12th level Void Disciple could be useful. Bonus points if she's in a japanese school girl outfit.

Eat a Warblade/Swordsage for Raging Mongoose, or eat someone with the Martial Study feat for it...hmm. better to steal the class feature so you get the required IL.

Have you eaten a Dervish yet?

I forgot that another mainhand double is x4 to offhands. Add in Slashing Flurry, and we get to 4,109,932 attacks.

Three mainhand doubles to Chuck...

This, like Sweeping Strikes and Two With One Blow, is target dependent, not granted attacks.

Also, Aptitude doesn't work that way.

Requires being able to take Weapon Specialization. Even if we eat it.  :(

Moment of Clarity of a 12th level Void Disciple could be useful. Bonus points if she's in a japanese school girl outfit.

This says it can grant an ally a feat (which, if I recall, was clarified in RC to mean other than yourself, while allies includes yourself). Plus it doesn't say you can use a feat you don't meet the prereqs for.

Eat a Warblade/Swordsage for Raging Mongoose, or eat someone with the Martial Study feat for it...hmm. better to steal the class feature so you get the required IL.

That'd be using manuevers.

Yes.

It already does. It goes through Half-Dragon while Large. This gives it wings.
