The Character Level, often abbreviated clvl, is a property of a character that is determined by the amount of experience gained. Killing monsters and completing certain quests, heightens this.
Diablo I
Diablo II
Diagram showing experience needed for leveling-up
In Diablo II each new level (Level-up) gives the character 1 skill point and 5 stat points. It is also used to determine Item Levels during Gambling (clvl -5 through +4), Shopping (clvl +5) and crafting (clvl/2 + ilvl/2).
Character level calculates base chance of hitting targets. Your chance of hitting a target that is a higher level is reduced. Likewise, a lower level target will have an increased chance of being hit. If you cannot hit your targets, you may need to level up, rather than increase Attack Rating.
The highest level to achieve in Diablo II is 99, therefore a total Experience of 3.520.485.254 is needed.
