(Disclaimer: Damage values are guesses, as I am not really sure how it is calculated.)

Thorn Set Notes: 

Collision Damage: Each piece of this armor does damage whenever it strikes something. While rolling is explicitly mentioned, falling or jumping on/at a target cause equal damage. Walking,  running or bumping into things with a jump attack causes no damage. Damage can also be triggered by an opponent ramming/grabbing the wearer. Wearing more pieces will cause more damage. The chest piece does the highest damage. Flipping and jumping do same damage as rolling. A glancing collision will do less damage. Upgrading Armor does not increase damage. Not affected by Power Within or Red Tearstone Ring. (or Blue Tearstone Ring, or weapon buffs)

Kick Damage: Leggings only. Adds probably about 20 points of physical damage to Kick, but without a weapon to back it up, that translates to about 2 points of damage after going through the target's defense. Upgrading does not improve damage. Leggings of Thorns gain no benefit from Power Within or Red Tearstone Ring, though their insignificant damage can be stacked with the Orange Charred Ring. (FYI: On the other hand, Power Within DOES boost Orange Charred Kick. But still not Red Tearstone Ring)

Gauntlets: The Gauntlets of Thorns are the only part of this set that improve Gauntlet Weapon damage (including unarmed). Damage increase is roughly 20 points (note: this gets added to your attack, not to damage dealt. So for a barehanded attack that normally does 2 damage, with Thorns it will increase to 5 damage. For a weapon attack that does 175, with Thorns it does 195). Effect falls under the influence of Power Within (improves to 28 points), but not Red Tearstone Ring. No Bleed observed. Upgrading armor does not improve damage. Adding extra pieces will not increase damage. Not affected by weapon buffs. Does not effect critical attacks (backstabs/ripostes) or jump attacks. Armor cannot be equipped when Dragonized and as such, offers no benefit to Dragon Claw.

Ok, looks like the formatting is going to take this time. If a passing administrator could replace the original wall-o-text with this, I'd appreciate it.
