Incidentally, the resistances and immunities are correctly displayed, but the hit points are only approximate, and are considerably inaccurate on Nightmare and Hell, thanks to various bugs in the way the game adds extra hit points for higher difficulty levels. The basic problem is that the hit points displayed are pulled from one data table, but it's not the same data as that which the game actually uses to create the monsters. The actual, accurate, hit points are displayed in the tables on the various monster pages in this wiki. | Incidentally, the resistances and immunities are correctly displayed, but the hit points are only approximate, and are considerably inaccurate on Nightmare and Hell, thanks to various bugs in the way the game adds extra hit points for higher difficulty levels.

===Monster Counter Work Around=== | |||
There's a slightly complicated way to trick the game into counting your monster kills forever with a multiplayer character. Thanks to Lochnar for the following method: | |||
'''The first time you play your multi player character and want to tally kill counts:''' | |||
# Start the game(s) as always and play through for that session | |||
# When done with the game gather up all your goodies as you would any other time you finished a game | |||
# Instead of selecting Quit Diablo from the menu, select New Game | |||
# Cancel out of each selection until you get back to the screen for single or multi play | |||
# Select single player | |||
# Select new hero and create your kill count character | |||
# When the game is started, don't bother playing | |||
# Select save game from the menu | |||
# Quit Diablo | |||
'''All games after that which you want to tally:''' | |||
# Select single player | |||
# Load your saved game for your kill counter character (not new game) | |||
# When the game has loaded select new game from the menu | |||
# Cancel back to the single or multi player selection | |||
# Start your multi player game (any difficulty) | |||
# When done with session (can be any number of multi games but no single player loads) select new game | |||
# Cancel back to single player selection | |||
# Pick your kill counter character but select new game NOT load saved game (load will revert kill count to that save) | |||
# When new game with kill counter character has started, select save game | |||
