Icon of the Defender

The Icon of the Defender is an artifact from Hexen. It has the shape a miniature gray castle tower, similar to the rook in chess. It grants almost total invulnerability to all classes; however, the precise effect differs for each character:


 * The Fighter gets no secondary effect and is simply rendered invulnerable, an effect similar to Doom's Invulnerability artifact except that the player's view is not affected.


 * The Cleric phases between partial and total invisibility. Whilst completely invisible, projectiles can travel straight through the player.

The effect lasts for 30 seconds.
 * The Mage deflects incoming projectiles away from his body. As with the Disc of Repulsion, seeking projectiles deflected in this manner are considered to be controlled by the mage and will seek his enemies.

Falling damage can still kill a player using the icon.
