Saving Kill Counts
-----------------------

The procedure as I see it (correct me if you see anything wrong):

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


That is how I do it. It seems to work but YMMV.


Playing Single Player at Higher Difficulties
----------------------------------------------------
(I've included this just in case somebody doesn't know it is possible)

While there is no difficulty setting when playing single player games of Classic Diablo, it is possible to play
with monster attributes and drops equivalent to Nightmare and Hell Difficulties. The only reason I can think of
for doing so (and why I do it) is to play the quests that are given you in single player. Since it requires
a multi player character capable of playing those difficulties, quests are the only thing to be gained.

-Start a multi player game of Nightmare or Hell difficulty (character must be of sufficient level to start game)
-Select new game from menu
-Cancel back to single player selection
-Start a new game or load a saved single player game
-The single player game is now playing as if you had set the difficulty equivalent to the last multi player game
-The difficulty does not save with the character so this must be done each time you play
