* '''The [[Barbarian]]''' - The same character you played in [[Diablo II]], but with some [[Barbarian skills|new skills]], and backed with power of the [[ancient]]s.

=== Stat Allocation ===

It's no longer possible to choose where to enter your own stat points. They will be automatically assigned every time you level up. The customization that this brought in Diablo II is now going to be moved to itemization among other ways.

=== Skill Runes ===

[[Rune]]s will work very different in Diablo III compared to {{iw|Rune Diablo II Runes}}, and is now part of the character customization. You will enter skill runes for your skills/spells, which will affect how the these work in the game. A multiplying rune might make your spell fire additional fireballs, another rune might make the blast radius bigger etc.
