Is there any way to determine the distribution/likelihood of damage
delivered?  The min-max range can be very large, my merc has a polearm
damage range from 1000 - 4000 e.g. (including charms, equipment).  How

Wondering how to keep my HC trapper alive while giving her a couple of
malice claws to melee her way to level 30. I suddenly thought "Doh! I'm
giving her a prayer merc anyway--no problem." So I gave the merc a malice
polearm too, and they both kicked butt through normal.

Where is the cow king in the secret cow level?
I searched everywhere but couldn't find him.
Then I tried creating a portal to the secret cow level but I couldn't.

I'm finding it impossible to kill Mephisto.  My Necro is level 66 in
Nightmare with str 102, Dex 90, vit 123 and Energy 44.

My PC doesn't recognize the wireless antenna through the USB port,

curious as to whether or not this -% ELR modifier is capped or not?
It is possible to stack this at incredibly high rates and cut through

Can multiple Hurricane or armageddon spells be cast at once?  For
example, if you have points in the spell length synergy then you cast a
2nd spell before the 1st runs out?  Or do these work like thunderstorm
in that you can only have one at a time?  My guess is there is only one ...

I'm visiting my son, who has an IMac G5 which runs WinXP PRO in
Virtual memory. We'll be here for awhile, so I brought D2 to play. It

In this short ladder season I just received the cool looking, but
totally useless Dangoon's Teaching reinforced mace for the *third*
time.  I saved one on a mule--don't know why, the Heaven's Brethren

I play Europe SC Ladder.
Cheers,
Vince.
