Note: Wait! Stop! You do not need to copy this actor's code into your project! Here's why: This actor is already defined in GZDoom, there's no reason to define it again. In fact, trying to define an actor with the same name will cause an error (because it already exists). If you want to make your own version of this actor, use inheritance. Definitions for existing actors are put on the wiki for reference purpose only.

The Falcon Shield is similar to Heretic's Enchanted Shield. 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.
