* Introduction *

Welcome to version 1.0 of the Unofficial Diablo FAQ! Within this document I

will attempt to provide the most complete, updated, and correct information

about the game Diablo as is possible. Please keep in mind that this FAQ is
in
no way endorsed or supported by Blizzard Entertainment. Questions,
comments,
corrections, complaints or anything else are gladly accepted at the address

lchark@ma.ultranet.com, or visit the BEST Diablo web site around at
http://www.tiac.net/users/jscanlon/diablo (PLUG!). I've talked enough, now
to
the game...

* New in this version *

Besides small updates and corrections, there are two new changes.
The first is a response to the problem viewing the FAQ in browsers such as
Netscape that do not have word-wrap. This is now (hopefully) fixed
completely. The second update involves the width of the FAQ. At resolutions

below full-screen 800x600, the text would become split-up and choppy. Now
all
resolutions should work just fine. I apologize for any inconvenience this
may have caused to the readers.

* What is Diablo? *


"Diablo invites you to enter a world of dark gothic fantasy. Choose
your persona, and enter the labyrinth beneath the decaying town. As
you venture deeper into the catacombs, you'll discover weapons,
armor, and magical treasures, and develop your character's skills and
abilities. You might also want to bring a friend or two to help...
Built in support for battle.net, as well as modem, serial, and
network play, insures that you'll never have to go in alone."
