No wonder my Ranger is almost done with the game and only level 12

THIS SUCKS
Wurm, if you go into the toolset and check out the Official Campaign you'll find that Bio awarded about 10% of the XP for monsters that you would normally get in PnP, because you fight a hell of a lot more monsters in NWN than in PnP. Otherwise you'd hit the Level 20 ceiling by about halfway through the game.

This option is customizable for module builders by the way - other module builders have it at 20%, or even 50%, especially if the module isn't that long and they want people to level up quickly.

2 xp seems a bit low though - only other thing I can think of is that you are playing under Insane difficulty?
