Full quiz follows (with errata incorporated). The file was dated march 1998 (I overwrote the file when fixing some typos but the answers file is from the 18th of March).
I had nothing better to do so I thought I should make a quiz. For those of you who read alt.games.diablo, some of the questions are reused from a quiz I did there last fall.
The questions can easilly be answered with any guide or tables over the game but try answering the questions without looking in any. See how much you know by heart. After all, when you face monsters you rarely have time to start looking in any faq.
Always asume max stats on any item.
I will wait with the answers for some time but anyone is welcome to submit their onw ones of course.
