Many skills (most notably [[D2 Curse|curses]] and [[D2 Aura|auras]]) apply effects within a radius. Skill descriptions specify radius in yards, while internally it is specified in sub-tiles: each sub-tile is a 2/3 yard by 2/3 yard (2 foot by 2 foot) square, although due to the game's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isometric_projection isometric projection] these are rendered as rhomboids.

Since a sub-tile is a 2/3 yard by 2/3 yard square (2 feet by 2 feet), the hypotenuse of the right-angled triangles created by bisecting that square from opposite corners is the square root of 8 (2² + 2²) in feet, or ~2.83 feet. Horizontally this distance equals 32 pixels, but vertically this distance equals just 16 pixels, resulting in the following:

If it seems counter-intuitive that vertical distance in yards should be greater than horizontal distance (since it's fewer pixels in length), take another look at the radius image above: distance from the center to the side of the screen is ~12 yards, while distance to the top is ~18 yards.
