Do the leg sized fingers keep the three joint arrangement, with three bones? And/or is there a significant change in structure to compensate for the length?
Because if there’s an increase in joints and/or commensurate change to muscles and tendons, leg length fingers is a no brainer. You’ve now got awesome tentacle-fingers. Otherwise, they’re useless because the structure we have wouldn’t be able to make them work right.
Being essentially legless isn’t fun, but it’s better than having drastically weakened or useless fingers. Hell, I’d rather be in a wheelchair than deal with just the arthritis in my hands as it is.
But holy shit, can you imagine arthritis in three-foot long fingers?
