I remember 2nd Edition rules pretty well and I know for a fact a Minotaur was worth about 200 exp.. 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?[/QUOTE]Im playing core rules, in the last chapter, Im level 13 and a looooong way away from level 14. and I'm sorry but if a battle takes 7 mins, kills your henchman and involves a creature that you cant hit with less than a +3 weapon.. then you deserve more than 52 exp points. regardless of what Biowares says on the matter.. before I patched the game I was receiving more exp. per kill. And I also don't know about the game having more monsters than PnP AD&D.. you never played under my old DM [img]tongue.gif[/img] One thing it has alot more of is locked chests and another thing.. 2 exp points = kobold / goblin (maybe) but a MINOTAUR!?! you know large kickass bullheaded humaniod with horns and a huge axe!?! please its worth at least 65 exp points. Hercules wasn't given the task of killing a Minotaur as a breather between harder things to do....
