Platinum helm
Actor type	Armor	Game
DoomEd Number	8007	Class Name	PlatinumHelm
Spawn ID	70	Identifier	T_PLATINUMHELM

Classes: Inventory→Armor→HexenArmor→PlatinumHelm

The Platinum Helm looks just like the helm worn by Baratus and Zedek: a typical fantasy helm, open-faced and with a noseguard and horns.

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

• +3 for Baratus the Fighter
• +2 for Daedolon the Mage
• +1 for Parias the Cleric

In Hexen, it is designed to be used with the Amulet of Warding, Falcon Shield and Mesh Armor, 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 ARM3A0 and is renamed at load-time by ZDoom.
