	No lore was provided for the Barbarian, since he wasn't an official character. It seems likely that Sierra dreamed up the character, and were told by Blizzard North not to include it officially, since they already had plans for the barbarian of ''Diablo II''. There are some obvious similarities; the lack of magic, the ability to use two handed weapons in one hand, and the gain in resistance every level.

	Barbarians use the Warrior's graphics, but play very differently. They are axe-masters, uniquely suited to using the huge two-handed weapons and fighting without a shield. Barbarians can not add any points to their magic attribute and they do not gain any mana points for leveling up. All of their magic and mana comes from equipment, and they must boost those stats to cast any spells, other than the simplest ones found on scrolls. To compensate for this, Barbarians gain 1% resistance with every level up, have the highest vitality in the game, and gain the most life per vitality point of any character.

	Barbarians do not get any magic from their attributes, and don't even gain mana from leveling up.

Barbarians do not get any magic from their attributes, and don't even gain mana from leveling up. All of their magic and mana must come from equipment, and it can be a struggle for a new Barbarian to survive with nothing but healing scrolls and healing potions. Finding a book of healing won't end your troubles either, since the cost of healing scales up with the character's hit points, and Barbarians have a lot of hit points. It's not uncommon for a Barbarian to level well into the 30s before he has enough +mana equipment to actually cast the healing spell. Like all spells, Healing costs less mana at higher levels, so read all the books you can.

			Town Portal does not grow more expensive as the Barbarian levels up, but it's some time before a Barbarian has enough magic to read a book, or enough mana to cast it. Carrying a town portal scroll (or 3) is mandatory for new Barbarians, for quite some time.

	Eventually, higher level Barbarians should be able to accumulate enough +magic equipment to read a variety of [[D1 Spellbooks\|spellbooks]]. Using some magic is very helpful. Being able to heal is certainly nice, and stone curse and teleport help greatly in the hell levels when witches and mages are encountered. Be sure you only buy full mana potions; partials will do almost nothing for the Barbarian.
