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.
Bleeding effects inflicted by horns do not stack.

Advantages & Disadvantages
Advantages
- Grants essentially free extra damage.
- Grants a very significant AV bonus compared to most head armor, particularly in the early game or if rapidly advanced to high levels.
- Horns are weightless and have no DV penalty.
- Very accurate even with low Agility due to their significant to-hit bonus.
- At high levels, the significant bleeding save difficulty will cause creatures to bleed for many turns just from being hit one time.
Disadvantages
- Prevents the player from wearing any headgear
- Prevents the player from benefiting from any head mods, such as lanterned.
