==The Fifth Character==
It's widely-expected that the fifth character will be a [[ranged|archer]]-type character, one who specializes in the bow and perhaps other ranged weapons. This speculation comes chiefly from looking at the roles the known characters occupy, and noting that there is no ranged attacker other than the Wizard, and no character with any special skill with bows or other ranged weapons. (No [[bows ]] were seen in the game at Blizzcon BlizzCon [[BlizzCon 2008 |2008]] or [[BlizzCon 2009|2009]], but one was seen to drop in the initial [[WWI 2008|WWI Paris 2008 ]] gameplay movie. No throwing weapons have been seen at all.)
Numerous articles [http://diablo.incgamers.com/forums/blog.php?b=59 speculating] on what the fifth character might be have been posted. The main points include the following:
* The fifth class will be announced at [[BlizzCon 2010]].[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/blizzcon-2010-announced/]* The fifth class was one of the first the [[D3 Team ]] sketched out. (Likely meaning its a traditional RPG class.)
* There's no character in the game who specializes in bows or ranged weapons.
** The fifth character will fit a niche not occupied by any other character. [http://www.giantbomb.com/news/hands-on-with-diablo-iiis-street-fighter-inspired-monk-class/1658/]
