Lore:
Driven by a centuries-long quest to cleanse the corruption blighting their beloved Zakarum faith, Crusaders are warriors of righteousness who have been hardened through relentless, brutal combat with the foul evils plaguing eastern Sanctuary. In addition to wearing immensely heavy armor and wielding a wide range of cruel and punishing weapons, this new playable class in Reaper of Souls uses battle magic to strengthen allies and weaken foes. A natural walking tank, the Crusader adds power and versatility to any party of adventurers.

New Area: Act V, Westmarch/Pandemonium Fortress
Known locations: The Wolf Gate, Moldering Waterway, Old Storehouse, Streets of Westmarch
Seamless interior/exterior location travel: Absolutely no load time between traveling zones, this is actually pretty unbelievable. Watch in the Shaky Cam video above.

Increased Level Cap: Level 70 is the new cap for non-Paragon Levels. All classes gain new skills and abilities.
Paragon Levels now shared account-wide: Also no PLvl cap
Paragon Points System: Can be distributed between STR/VIT/DEX/INT, Move Speed, Crit, etc, and can be respecced!

Totally forgot, there is also a new gem: "Diamond" and if I remember correctly from my mind it has at least "+ to all resis" on something, not sure anymore what the other were, will try to get the details tomorrow.

Hey u/xoxoleah, I made an animated background just for you! Feel free to check it out at the link below:

I've included instructions on how to download the .WMV, how to set it up, and how to get dreamscene. It's some of the best art I've seen from Blizzard, so please enjoy it!

Not sure if that's all of them but it looks to be the case. So I'm guessing once we dump enough points into these they will no longer be absolutely mandatory on gear, which is a great prospect.

The French site guy was at Gamescon, and noted in the demo, which distribution you can have for each area (for 1 parangon point distributed) :

Skill Points :
INT +5
STR +5
DEX +5
VIT +5

Attack :
Attk Speed +0,2%
CC +0,2%
DCC +1%
Cooldown Reduction +0,2% (cooldown is speeded up)

Defense :
Health +0,5%
Magic Res +5
Armor +0,5%
Dodge +0,2%

Utility :
Movement Speed +0,5%
Gold earned +1
Pick Up Radius increase (no idea of the value

There is also a "Reset" button to get all back to 0.
