Thanks, Jarulf. I was thinking about making a Legit Diablo Trivia Bot for Battle.net, but could never find one with customizable questions. Anyone else want to give it a go? I'd assume Jarulf has an answer key somewhere, but do it without looking at my answers. If he doesn't have one, answer anyway and I'll make up an answer key in a week or so. Some of mine are guesses, but I didn't want to say "I think" for the ones that are, so I look like I dominated the ones I guess right. =D
1. Everyone knows which monsters are tripple immunes. But what about bosses. Which ones are? What about the Obsidian Lord Boss?
The only one I know of is the Knight on 13/14 sometimes. Black Knight maybe? Obsidian Lord boss is toasted versus fire.
2. One monster accually looses a immunity on hell difficulty (compared to normal and nightmare), which one?
Hell Spawns lose Lightning immunity and gain Fire immunity in Hell.
3. Upon facing Poison Spitters and Pit Beasts, what resistance would you judge (if any) to be of most use? What about if you face Lava Maws instead?
Magic resistance for all.
4. As a mage you work your way through caves and suddenly see hordes of Blood Claws comming your way. What spell do you use on them?
Chain Lightning. Aren't they Brood Claws?
5. Some unique monsters have the ability to dissapear. How many are they? What type are they? And where do you encounter them?
Shadowdrinker the (horror?) skeleton captain on 5 ?
6. What immunities and resistances does Lazarus have?
Immune to magic, resistant to fire and lightning.
7. Zhar the Mad is an unique monster that can be found on level 8. What type (and subtype) of monster is he?
Mage --> Counselor
8. There are three unigue monsters of the winged fiend type. Name two of them.
Not a chance =o

Jade at 30%.
10. How many unique axes are there? How many can you name? (extra points if you know what type they are smile.gif )
5 axes?
Aguinara's Hatcher --> Small Axe 2-10
Messy Reaver --> Great Axe 12-30
Bloodslayer --> Broad Axe 8-20
Hellslayer --> Battle Axe 10-25
Wicked Axe --> Large(?) Axe 6-16
11. Which weapon type do you swing the fastest, swords or clubs?
Both swing at the same speed.
12. Asume a level 40 warrior, healing spell at level 15 and he has 500 life. What (on average) would heal him the most, a potion of healing or a scroll of healing?
Scroll of Healing
13. You are playing Ironman (one warrior, one rogue and one sorcerer) and need to use Heal Other (you don't have any healing nor any mana potions left). All have the same spell leveles and the same character level. Which of those characters are best at casting Heal Other. That is which one will on average heal the most.
Sorcerer will have probably more than twice the mana of the warrior. He gets no bonus, though, whereas the Warrior's bonus is x2.0. So per cast, warrior Heals/Heals Other the best.
14. Which item would give the higherst damage boost to level 30 rogue with maxed stats. Ring of moon, ring of might or ring of accuracy?
Accuracy gives 15 dex, greater than moon's +7str/+7dex and might's +10 str.
15. You are a warrior and want to max magic to read a spell book. Which item would you prefer, spider's ring of the stars or a sword of mind? What if you are a rogue?
Spider's ring of the Stars, +11 magic, mind is +10 magic. No difference as a rogue.
16. Which prefix gives the highest damage, master's or savage?
Savage.
17. Lightning can be both a prefix and suffix. Are there any other attribute that can be that too? What is the difference (if any) when Lighting is a prefix and when it is a suffix?
Not counting Weak/Weakness or Strong/Strength, it's the only one. Damage is 2-20 as a prefix, 1-10 as a suffix.
18. What, non spell carrying, staff would be the most expensive in the game?
Emerald War Staff of Wizardry?
19. Which is most expensive, an amulet or a ring (asume identical stats)?
Amulet.
20. You are suddenly faced by a Cryptic Shrine. What does it do?
Refills mana and casts nova from shrine, which misses the user.

No.
22. When determinig the price of a weapon of knight's for example. Which stat is then important, the dmaga or the tohit?

Royal Circlet, Dreamflange, Eaglehorn... and Demonspike Coat?
24. The Veil of Steel is a very good Unique helm in single player. Does it have any drawbacks? If so which one(s)?

Apoc is 149, but I'm still looking for a Bountiful/Nova. I'll guess 149 magic for that, too. =D

32. What are the level requirements to enter the catacombs, the caves and hell?
8, 12, 17?
