Extra Info: | |
When the player selects the Horns mutation, they can also Customize it by pressing "C" during character creation to select the variant of horns they would like. The options are: Horns, Horn, Antlers, or Casque. Mechanically, these variants are identical to each other.
The player can select their horn-bearing head as their primary weapon from the equipment screen in order to always attack with their horns as their default weapon. Otherwise, there is only a 20% chance to attack with the horns to when making an attack with any other primary weapon.
When a creature with Horns uses Charge, the chance to attack with horns will be 100% with the bonus penetration from charging.
