I went back and double checked - Nightowl is right. You do NOT get any xp for the gobbo's with a 17th level party. I reloaded my start up game and all the gobbo's give you is some piddling treasure, NO xp at all. Bad memory on my part.

I'm not sure about Phaen's CR rating but I suspect the same thing is happening there too.

In fact, I do know that a LOT of the monsters will yield NO xp at all throughout the game, even in HoF mode. The BEST XP hauls will come when you get to the ice palace and face those Crystal Golems again. BIG xp for those guys.

In the IWD2 version of HOF, those gobbos are really no match for a 17th level party of 6. They are just too easy. Hence no xp.

Sorry for any confusion, Raistlin, but I suspect that your game is working fine and you're just running into the "WTF, no XP for killing 120 gobbo's?????" syndrome. The CR system for xp takes some getting used.
