Mike, Yeah, I see what you mean about the two arms not always moving in the same manner . . . hmmm . . . I'm getting mentally fuzzy about the problem so this may be dumb but how about scaling the arm down and then scaling a new one up as I first suggested and then creating a new hierarchy (just for the new arm) in which the hand was the parent to the lower arm and the lower arm the parent to the upper arm. Then link the new arm's hand to the other hand. At this point you could copy tracks/relative from the master hand to the new hand. Then see what happens. You'll have to go through and fix each frame and by moving the upper-arm so that it appears to connect to the shoulder. I do this kind of down and dirty, baling wire, and duct tape stuff pretty often and there is usually a way to make it work. Or you could get rid of that two handed sword and give the guy a nice one-handed Glock 19, 9mm pistol. Alec Jason
