Now...if I get a couple of shots in (even one arrow is sufficient) and then sit back and let my summoned creatures whallop the enemy...I will get XPs. So, basically, if I participate at all (no matter how little...1 hp in damage is enough), then I'm getting XPs. If I don't, then I don't get squat.

Here's an example...

I put one of those mind-control collars on an Admantium golem upon entering Suldanessar. I then had him bash everything that he could find all by himself. XPs for my party = 0 for all of those kills. When I had a character tail the charmed golem and hit an enemy that he was in the process of pounding (then go back invisible) I got XPs when the charmed golem destroyed the enemy.

I don't know how your game works, but that's how mine works...

A charmed monster is only literally under your control. Technically, it is not because it wasn't when you found it. I should have explained in more detail for those of you who need the explanation. The monster has to enter the game in your control. If the monster is charmed, confused, or otherwise incapacitated or manipulated, it will not work (unless of course you get the killing blow.) I believe what you were saying about the mind control device you got from the illithid layer to be a bug. The monster was not summoned and is only charmed. You *should* HAVE to get the killing blow.
