Hi:

My D2 characters are still available here:

http://oliver_kilian.tripod.com/games/diablo/diablo.htm

Someone on an earlier post mentioned trying to find new approaches to
challenging gameplay. My current project is to have a skill-poor HC
character from each class (i.e. with minimal skill and character points
applied), one who has completed normal mode. The idea is to be able to try
out different point allocations, beginning in nightmare mode, without having
to re-earn them all in normal mode. Current status: my assassin is Lvl42
with 38 skill pts in the bank. Unfortunately, she's needed every character
point she can get and is poor in resistances (not being so lucky with the
charms). She's almost done normal mode, but can't kill the 5th wave of
Baal's minions (those dinosaur thingies are brutal!). Maybe needs to level
up a little more?

Happy slaying,

O.

Why don't you just start a LAN game, park her in a certain place (eg one
of the eastern corners of the Throne of Destruction level), and have the
other character kill the wave off? Then both follow Ball to the
Worldstone chamber, your Assassin again parks at the edge of the abyss,
close to the ledge where Baal normally sits, and the other one does the
killing.

I patriarched a broken 1.09 necro that way, and another (formerly
nekkid) 1.09 necro, just to check out whether a botched character can
still be dragged to mastership (and I wanted a cow portal opener, too)

Ah, Information. A property, too valuable these days, to give it away,
just so, at no cost.

For that matter, he could just allocate the saved points and have at it.
Either way would defeat the purpose of the exercise.
