}}Quills is a physical mutation that grants the {} natural equipment, providing the player with natural body armor, melee damage reflection, and the ability to manually discharge quills to deal damage around the player. The total amount of quills the player possesses, how quickly those quills regenerate, their penetration value, and the {{AV}}AV bonus provided by the {} are determined by the mutation level.
==Max Quills==
<br />
At level 1, '''Quills''' starts with 300 max quills. At level up, the next max number of quills is randomly chosen:
<syntaxhighlight lang="xml>
Math.Max(300, this.nMaxQuills + (NewLevel - 1) * Random(80, 120))
</syntaxhighlight>(For the non-code-literate, this formula simply means that, at each level-up, the player’s max quill count is increased by a random number from 80 to 120)
