Larian Studios Forums Divinity 2 - Ego Draconis (English) Help/Tips/Tricks Help with icon in hud

Hello everyone,
i somehow dont know what that icon stands for and how it got there, and how i make it go away.
Please someone enlighten me

Don't worry about it, it's an effect that's currently working on you. Probably something that increases your damage by the looks of it. By the end of the game, you'll have so many icons there they won't all fit on the screen.

i was thinking about that but i tried to remove stuff and put it on back but no change,
i guess i must have skipped something ^^

ty very much sir

It is there because an item you have equipped gives you a bonus, in this case increased melee resistance. When you pause the game, you can mouse over these icons to see what they do. Alternatively, you can consult your manual, in which all effects are listed.
