'''Horns''' is a mutation that grants the {{Favilink|horns}} natural equipment on the character's head.<!-- START QBE: Autogenerated section - please leave this marker. See the [[QBE]] page for more information. -->
'''Horns''' is a mutation that grants one of the following natural equipment variants on the character's head:
{{Item
* {{favilink id|Horns}}
| title = {{Qud text|horns}}

| pv = 4
* {{favilink id|Horns Antlers}}
| maxpv = 104
* {{favilink id|Horns Spiral}}
| vibro = no
 
| damage = 2
If the character has multiple heads, the horns will only be equipped onto one head. Like other armor, the {{AV}}AV and {{DV}}DV will be averaged across all heads. As well as being armor, Horns act as a short blade weapon type, and can benefit from the [[Short Blade]] skill tree. They are one of the few short blade weapons that has an uncapped strength [[penetration]] modifier.
| av = 0
 
| weight = 0
When the player selects the Horns mutation, they can also {{Qud text|&WC&yustomize}} it by pressing "C" during character creation to select the variant of horns they would like. The options are: Horns, Horn, Casque, Antlers, or Spiral Horn. Mechanically, these variants are identical to each other.
| commerce = 0
 
| weaponskill = {{SkillID to name|ShortBlades}}
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.
| id = Horns
| renderstr = *

When the player selects the Horns mutation, they can also {{Qud text|&WC&yustomize}} 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. This chance is separate from the default 20% chance to attack with horns, allowing a charging creature to strike up to twice with their horns.


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 {{name}} do not stack.

===Considerations===
* Having {{f|two-headed}} will reduce the disadvantages, as the horns are only attached to a single head. This will allow you to still equip headgear for beneficial effects you can't get with the horns, such as headgear mods. However, this comes with the usual disadvantages associated with two-headed, and means you will still need to procure headgear for one of your heads

Horns is a mutation that grants one of the following natural equipment variants on the character's head:

If the character has multiple heads, the horns will only be equipped onto one head. Like other armor, the ♦AV and ○DV will be averaged across all heads. As well as being armor, Horns act as a short blade weapon type, and can benefit from the Short Blade skill tree. They are one of the few short blade weapons that has an uncapped strength penetration modifier.

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, Casque, Antlers, or Spiral Horn. 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. This chance is separate from the default 20% chance to attack with horns, allowing a charging creature to strike up to twice with their horns.

Bleeding effects inflicted by Horns do not stack.

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

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
  • 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

Considerations

  • Having Two-headed will reduce the disadvantages, as the horns are only attached to a single head. This will allow you to still equip headgear for beneficial effects you can't get with the horns, such as headgear mods. However, this comes with the usual disadvantages associated with two-headed, and means you will still need to procure headgear for one of your heads
