So I guess the question is: how do you get a ton of exp? Got any quest recommendations? Decent fighting areas? If it makes a difference, I always use a party of 6 which spreads the exp quite thinly.

Are your characters mostly multiclass? If so, levels 12-14 are about where you max out with XP cap for SOA (Shadows of Amn), which is 2.95M XP per character. Single class characters (or dual-class characters that don't have much XP in their first class, like Imoen and Anomen) peak out between 17th and 23rd lvl or so. Minsc, for example, is a Ranger and will reach 17th level at the XP cap. Multiclass characters will generally wind up in the 12-14 range you described for each class... Jaheira, for example, is a Fighter/Druid that will reach level 13/13 at the XP cap.
The game expansion pack, Throne of Bhaal, raises the XP cap to 8M XP per character, in addition to providing a continued plot, many new areas to explore, items to find, baddies to fight, and many new powerful abilities for high-level characters. There are also various XP cap remover mods out there if all you want to do is reach higher levels in the game you already have... the FAQ section of this forum links to several. But to get access to the new areas, items, high-level abilities, etc, you need the expansion.
