'''Barbs''' is a [[status effect]] which causes the victim to sustain damage each time it attempts to move. The barbs remain in their target for 3-6 turns plus an additional 2-4 turns each time the target is struck by more barbs, up to a maximum of 12 turns. This duration decreases when the target remains in place (use the '''s''' or '''.''' keys). Moving while under the barbs' effect deals 2d(4+number of barbs) damage (up to a maximum of 2d6). This has a 33% chance of decreasing the duration by one turn; it is possible to rid yourself of barbs by moving, but doing so will incur significant damage.

Version 0.30: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
There are barbs embedded in your skin, and moving around will cause you to take damage. Remaining in place for a short time will allow you to remove the barbs without taking damage.

Barbs is a status effect. Each time a barbed creature moves, it takes damage equal to 2d(2 + times_barbs_inflicted) damage (max. 2d6).[1] Rampaging makes you move twice, so you take double the damage while rampaging.

The barbs remain in their target for 4-8 turns, adding 2-4 turns per infliction of barbs (max. 12 turns at time).[2] Remaining in place (no matter what you do) has 100% chance of decreasing the duration. While moving, you only have a 33% chance to decrease the duration. It is possible to rid yourself of barbs by moving, but doing so will incur significant damage.
