Diablo Variants



Got Diablo 1 or Diablo 2 variants that need a home? Is one of your variants here and you'd like anything about it changed (mistake corrections, new version, etc.)? Do you have any complaints about a variant hosted here? Let me know. Know, however, that I do not respond to vulgar or unreadable e-mails.


Variant Navigation

Variants are grouped by intended class and then listed alphabetically. The majority of D1 variants hosted here are "unofficial" - they were never dotted. Confirmed official variants are denoted by one of three graphics (determined by char class dotted under the variant rules). If you have dotted (1st) a variant that is listed here as "unofficial" and would like its status set to "official," let me know. Also note that some of these very well may have been dotted and I just don't know about it. If I don't know with which class a variant was first dotted but I know that it *was* dotted, I randomly give it one of the three images.

Here are some links to speed up your variant searching.

Diablo 2 Variants


In Diablo 2: Lord of Destruction mercenaries can in many cases play as variant characters. Variants whose rules allow for mercenaries to play using a somewhat modified version of the overall rules are denoted by mercenary graphics in the "Class" column. Like the normal character classes, not all merc types can play by every variant rule set. The applicable mercenary types have their portraits appear in the "Class" column. On the particular variant's rule page, there exists a special "Mercenary Rules" section where you can find the rules for using mercenaries with that variant as well as rules for playing a mercenary as that variant.
