Magic can be learned by finding magic tomes, and leveled up by finding multiples of the same spell tome, but advanced spell levels can not be learned if the character's magic stat is too low. Most equipment will have randomized stats, but some strong monsters will drop Unique weapons with set stats. The Sorcerer has the highest maximum magic attribute and can recharge the charges on a spellcasting staff at the cost of his own mana.Ĭharacters can equip armor, weapons, and accessories found in the chapel's shifting dungeons, but strong equipment will have minimum attribute requirements to be worn. The Rogue has the highest maximum dexterity and can both see and disarm traps on treasure chests. Warriors have the highest maximum strength and can repair weapons and armor inside the dungeon, but this will lower the item's maximum durability. Players start by choosing their avatar's class: either Warrior, Rogue, or Sorcerer. Rumors spread of a way to stop the demons, as well as rumors of great wealth, and both draw adventurers from far to the small town of Tristram. Now the lands lay scorched, home only to monsters and the dead.

The nation of Khanduras fought wars with no intention of winning, desiring only slaughter and suffering. As the strength of his prison waned Diablo reached out into the world, corrupting the dreams of the land's good king, driving him to attack his neighbors. Human agents of Heaven, upon discovering this, found the three Primes and sealed them within gemstone prisons, each of them sent to a different corner of the earth and kept under guard to prevent them from escaping.Īs years turns to centuries, however, the power of Heaven's agents waned, until eventually not even the people of the town of Tristram knew that buried deep under their chapel was the soul of the Lord of Terror, Diablo. Stripped of their power, they were banished to the mortal realm. They mutinied suddenly with the combined forces of Hell, overwhelming the three Primes.

While the Prime Evils of Hell were engaged in war their lesser lieutenants conspired to overthrow them. I truly hope they will continue to release the amazing box sets they are known for.Long ago a secret war raged between Heaven and Hell, each using humanity as its pawns. That said, Blizzard (so far) has skipped: Blizzard always used to release some of the most beautiful boxes in the industry, with gorgeous and detailed product catalogs, notepads, well written manuals, flow charts, etc. To think that Diablo II: Resurrected and/or Diablo IV might not get physical boxes is disappointing. These really look great on a shelf, and are such a beautiful reminder of one of the most important series in gaming history.
