Now this might just be me but I'd be in favour of there being a way of checking the stats of monsters and whatnot (hold Alt or something) which didn't involve pausing the entire chunk for everyone.
Obviously stuff would still be moving about so it makes displaying it a little bit trickier - but I'm thinking there must be a way to filter between relevant information. Maybe it could show you the stat box in the bottom right and allow you to cycle with Alt-, and Alt-. or something. Any maybe it would only bother showing you bosses' stats in this fashion, since that's its most important function.
Thoughts?
