Although the three Classes share common abilities, they have different strengths and weaknesses. In addition, each Class possesses a unique skill that is only usable by members of that class.<div style="float:right; clear:right; text-align:right; background-color:#1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white;">(Page 11)</div>{|align="right" style="clear:right;"|<div style="text-align:center;">''“Might and magic are spokes''<br>''on the same wheel…'' ''In lacking one you lack both…”''</div>|}  ===The Interface===The game screen in Diablo is divided into two main sections, the Play Area and the Interface Bar. The Play Area displays the immediate environment around your character, including any other creatures or items that are within your character’s line of sight. You can zoom in on your character by pressing the '''Z''' key on the keyboard. Press '''Z''' again to return to normal view. The Interface Bar provides you with quick information on your character, as well as buttons to access the various information screens. The colored orbs indicate your character’s current Life and Mana. The red orb represents your current Life, and the blue orb represents your current Mana. As you take damage or cast spells, the liquid in the orbs will decrease. If you run out]of Life points, your character is dead. Running out of Mana will prevent your hero from being able to cast memorized spells.

To take a closer look at your character’s attributes, open up the Character Information screen. This can be done by leftclicking on the [CHAR] button, or pressing the C key on the keyboard. The Character Information screen displays thefollowing information about your character:<div style="float:right; text-align: right; background-color: #1A0303; padding:2px 4px 4px 4px; color:white; clear:right;">(Page 1112)</div>
