HellMel: Removed references to AC/Encumrance impacting Spiny effects. Page should now be up to date for 0.17

{{version017}}
Anything careless enough to attack a '''spiny''' creature in melee will take damage from the defender's spines. Ranged or [[reaching]] attacks ignore this counterattack, as do spells.

==Monster Version==
Each time anything attacks a '''spiny''' monster in melee, there is a chance that the attacker will take Nd4 damage (Nd3 if the attacker is a monster), where "N" is the defender's spiny degree. This damage ignores EV, but is reduced by [[random2]]([[AC]]/2).

==Player Version==
You can acquire the spiny trait yourself by gaining the [[demonspawn]] [[Demonspawn_mutations#Spiny|spiny mutation]]. Spiny players may hurt attackers with a probability which depends on how many levels of the spiny mutation they have:

{{crawlquote|'''Spiny Damage''' '''Spiny 1''': 2d5 '''Spiny 2''': 3d5 '''Spiny 3''': 4d5}}

As with monster spines, this ignores EV. However, you can only affect the first attack of any given monster per round.

==Spiny Monsters==
{{monsterlink|Porcupine}}(3 degrees)

{{monsterlink|Briar patch}}(4 degrees)

{{monsterlink|Hell sentinel}}(5 degrees)

==Player Version==
You can acquire the spiny trait yourself by gaining the [[demonspawn]] [[Demonspawn_mutations#Spiny|spiny mutation]]. Spiny players may hurt attackers with a probability which depends on how many levels of the spiny mutation they have, as well as the [[encumbrance rating]] of their body armour; heavier armour reduces the effectiveness of one's spines:

==History==
Prior to [[0.17]], the 'spiny' mutation was dramatically weaker, as it was reduced by the AC and Encumbrance of worn armor.
