The official GemStone IV encyclopedia.
Wall of Thorns creates a wall of living thorns around the Ranger, providing a +20 DS bonus, and grants a 20% chance of the thorns blocking an incoming attack completely, and 25% chance of poisoning the attacker on a successful block. The chances to block incoming attacks and poison the attacker are modifiable only in combination with donning the porcupine aspect of Assume Aspect (650), which may be further increased with training in Spiritual Lore, Summoning.
