Extra Info: | |
A pair of massive, curling horns. They can deliver devastating gore attacks to enemies.
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
 |
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.
- 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.
