Ten bucks says it's the stamina bar.

How different do you think Diablo would've been had it remained turn-based, and never became a real-time game? Do you think it still would've had such a large impact on gaming?

Seems like a fair assessment. I've always wondered what a turn-based Diablo game would look and play like, but I suppose we'll never know at this point. Thanks for the reply, and more importantly, for making some of my favorite games of all time. Best of luck with It Lurks Below!
