As my OC's weapon isn't technically a hybrid, I guess I don't have much to say that could count as "informed" statements. However, Hybrid forms are always risky territory. I personally would err on the side of caution. Stick to 3 weapons at the absolute most, but as for hybrids, stick to only one, if any at all. The reason why I say this is because it's risky. If you have to have them, they need some SERIOUS PENALTIES. For example, lets say an OC has a combination Crossbow/Axe, and the crossbow is mag-fed (Just go with it). Let's say in hybrid mode, he/she has to load the next bolt manually. This is a deterrent to using the mode, but it does allow him/her to use it when necessary.

Again my OC's weapon is a singular weapon as opposed to a hybrid. (It's a set of gauntlets with retractable claws, which also function as grappling hooks.) He doesn't need much else. A fire-arm would just make him overpowered. Try to keep yourself within the limits of sanity. 3 weapons is acceptable, but pushing it. 5 modes is too much.
