I have to think this is no longer correct, I have a character with AC 12 and spiny 1 that deals damage with spines. If the formula is correct how can 2d5-12 deal any damage? Could this be bonus AC from armour instead?--Alphachief (talk) 07:24, 16 June 2015 (CEST)

Updated. The new mechanics seem a bit odd, so I'll post the relevant code (from melee.cc):
const int mut = (you.form == TRAN_PORCUPINE) ? 3
: player_mutation_level(MUT_SPINY);
if (mut && attacker->alive() && coinflip())
{
int dmg = random_range(mut, you.experience_level + mut);
int hurt = attacker->apply_ac(dmg);
