The Falcon Shield is similar to Heretic's Classes:EnchantedShield. It is emblazoned with a displayed argent falcon on a sable field, and surrounded by a brass lining.

It increases a Hexen player class's Armor Class by a certain amount:

• +5 for Parias the Cleric
• +4 for Baratus the Fighter
• +3 for Daedolon the Mage

In Hexen, it is designed to be used with the Amulet of Warding, Mesh Armor and Platinum Helm, but if imported in another game only one piece of Hexen Armor can be used at a time.

In Hexen.wad, the sprite is actually named ARM2A0 and is renamed at load-time by ZDoom.
