{{Advantage}}{{Physical}}{{Exotic}}
{{1 point}} or {{3 points}}

You have sharp spines, like those of a porcupine or an echidna, located on strategic parts of your body. This is defensive weaponry, intended to discourage attackers; you cannot use your Spines actively. However, you get a [[DX]]-4 roll to hit  each foe in close combat with you once per turn, as a free action. Roll at +2 against foes who attacked you from behind. Those who grapple or slam you are hit immediately and automatically – and those who slam you take maximum damage!

''Short Spines:'' One or two inches long. Do 1d-2 impaling damage. Reach C. ''1 point.''

''Long Spines:'' One or two ''feet'' long. Do 1d impaling damage. Reach C. ''3 points.''
