Diablo charachters
Amazon -- This powerful woman
warrior belongs to nomadic
bands who roam the plains
near the South Sea. The wandering
of these groups often brings them
into conflict with other peoples, so
the Amazon is accustomed to
fighting to defend her own. This
lifestyle has made her fiercely
independent and able to weather
severe hardship and travel. While her
skill with the bow rivals that of the
Rogues, the Amazon is also adept in
the use of spears and other throwing
weapons, as well as in hand to hand
combat. The Amazon is much sought
after as a mercenary, in which type
of service she will be loyal as long as
her own ends are also served.
Necromancer -- From the
steamy recesses of the
southern swamps comes a
figure cloaked in mystery. The
Necromancer, as his name implies, is
an unseemly form of sorcerer whose
spells deal with the raising of the
dead and the summoning and control
of various creatures for his purposes.
Though his goals are often aligned
with those of the forces of Light,
some do not think that these ends
can justify his foul means. Long
hours of study in dank mausolea
have made his skin pale and
corpselike, his figure, skeletal. Most
people shun him for his peculiar
looks and ways, but none doubt the
power of the Necromancer, for it is
the stuff of nightmares.
Paladin -- The Knights of
Westmarch who felled the armies
of mighty Leoric are pure at heart
and follow closely the teachings of
Zakarum, the Religion of the Light. A
battle-ready warrior for whom faith is a
shield, he fights for what he believes to
be right. Furthermore, his steadfastness
gives him powers to bring blessings to
his friends, and wreak cruel justice upon
his foes. There are those who call the
Paladin an overwrought zealot, but
others recognize in him the strength
and goodness of the Light.
Sorceress -- One of the
rebellious women who have
wrested the secrets of magic
use from the male dominated
Mage-Clans of the East, the
Sorceress is an expert in mystical
creation ex nihilo. Though somewhat
lacking in the skills of hand-to-hand
combat, she compensates for this
with fierce combative magics for both
offense and defense. Solitary and
reclusive, the Sorceress acts based
on motives and ethics inscrutable to
most, sometimes seeming capricious
and even spiteful. In reality, she
understands the struggle between
Order and Chaos all too clearly, as
well as her role as a warrior in this
battle.
Barbarian -- The Barbarian is a
member of any of several
tribes on the fringes of
civilization, and he refuses the
influence of those he sees as soft
and weak. Ceaseless clan warfare
and the constant struggle to survive
in the hostile wilderness are
reflected in the Barbarian's sturdy
and powerful frame. Though perhaps
lacking the sophistication of city
folk, the Barbarian has an acute
awareness of his surroundings.
Because of his shamanistic belief in
the animal powers with whom he
identifies, the Barbarian is
sometimes associated with stories
of lycanthropy. In fact, he believes
he can call upon the totemic animal
spirits to infuse him with
supernormal strengths and abilities,
but these only work to improve his
already superb battle-tactics.
