The Quills mutation grants the player a certain amount of quills to spend on various actions; at mutation level 1, the max number of quills is equal to 300, and each mutation level after this will increase the maximum by a random amount between 80-120 quills. Lost quills will regenerate at a rate as determined by mutation level and the player's [[Willpower]]. | The Quills mutation grants the player a certain amount of quills to spend on various actions; at mutation level 1, the max number of quills is equal to 300, and each mutation level after this will increase the maximum by a random amount between 80-120 quills. Lost quills will regenerate at a rate as determined by mutation level and the player's [[Willpower]]. 5% of the time you are hit, you will break between 1-4 quills. | ||
The players current number of quills determines the {{AV}}[[AV]] bonus granted by the mutation.

Additionally, Quills grants the "Quill Fling" activated ability, which when used, will discharge approximately 10% of the player's current number of quills to every adjacent tile, dealing damage to any creatures within. The number of flung quills will be spread out evenly across all 8 tiles. Each individual quill does {{Heart}}{{dice tooltip|1d3}} damage and has a {{PV}}[[PV]] value determined by mutation level. As Quill Fling uses 10% of the user's ''current'' quills, using Quill Fling repeatedly will use less and less quills each time, dealing less and less damage. The player cannot use Quill Fling if they do not have at least 80 quills. | Additionally, Quills grants the "Quill Fling" activated ability, which when used, will discharge approximately 10% of the player's current number of quills to every adjacent tile, dealing damage to any creatures within.

Finally, creatures that attack a player with Quills in [[unarmed]] combat will break approximately 1% of the player's current quills, while taking roughly 3% of the damage dealt reflected back at them per quill broken. This results in stronger damage reflection at higher mutation levels. | |||
Players and creatures who have the Quills mutation will be immune to the effects of other's quills; this includes Quill Fling and Quills' damage reflection. | Players and creatures who have the Quills mutation will be immune to the effects of other's quills; this includes Quill Fling and Quills' damage reflection. | ||
