If you make Windows show you the details of your Chaos Empire shortcut, you'll see a path like this:

--- Code: ---"C:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe"
--- End code ---
Now you go to the end of that line and add -act5 after a space.
The new shortcut would then be:

--- Code: ---"C:\Games\Diablo II\Diablo II.exe" -act5
--- End code ---

Now if you use that new shortcut and create a new character, she will start at level 96 and stand in Act5 Normal.
That works with Act 2, Act 3 and Act 4, too. Each with different levels. (Act 2 would be level 45 for example.)

So you can either start a character from a level other than 1, maybe if you're lazy or just curious about a level 30 skill. Or you can just start a level 96 and experiment with skillsets until you're confident that you've found one you want to use for good.

It works with act1, too. But to specify the meaning, the char stands in the act of the shortcut, but has no quests and no waypoints except the waypoint of act1 camp. This means you can not play starting the act your in, you have to play normal from beginning in act1 if you want to play with these chars.

They were only planned for testing skill assignment, not to jump over acts or something like that ;)

Oh really?
I must admit I haven't actually tried it, because the thought usually makes me sneer and mumble something cryptic about "Cheating myself". ^^
