Hexproof

Hexproof is a keyword and modifier that causes characters and monsters with it to be unaffected by Hex curses, but can be bypassed under certain conditions.

Mechanics

Curses negated by Hexproof will have their floating Curse icons above the entity replaced by lock symbols. Entities with these lock symbols are still considered cursed even if the curses have no effect, enabling mechanics such as those found on HexblastHexblastSpell, AoE, Chaos, Hex

Version history

Version	Changes
3.12.0	Hexproof monsters can now be cursed, but will ignore the effect of any Hexes applied to them (previously curses could not be applied). Hexproof in no way mitigates the effects of a Mark.
3.11.0	Now acts like an Immunity effect when gained (such as via Headhunter), and will remove any curses already present on you when gained.
2.3.1	Fixed a bug where Hexproof monsters were immune to curses, rather than being Hexproof.
2.3.0	Monsters and maps with the Hexproof prefix now grant the Hexproof keyword. Hexproof prevents curses applying, but can be bypassed under certain conditions. Currently only one unique item being added in 2.3.0 will bypass Hexproof, but this power may show up from other sources in the future. Hexproof does not affect curse reduction that unique monsters can have, and will allow for potential Curse Immunity in the future that is absolute and not keyworded as Hexproof.
Unknown	Map mod HexproofHexproof Prefix 18% increased Quantity of Items found in this Area Monsters are Hexproof introduced to the game.
