I remember that all too well. I spent hours wiping the floor with those guys (I forget the spell that allows you to damage every single monster you face; I would cast that over and over until I got down to a manageable number, then whack them with my warriors). Major leveling up there.

I think that many games have this kind of ungodly monster spawning areas, that are good for xp. Some examples:

  • Planescape: Torment- Thugs in the Hive, Undersigil, the Catacombs, Modron Maze, etc.
  • SoA- Windspear Hills, etc.
  • ToB- Fire Giants (ridiculous cheese; they can't even hurt you).
  • NwN official campaign- Snow Globe, Ch 2 and 3 wilderness areas, etc.
I always do that leveling up. The reason: I like to get my character/party up to max level. Not for ease of fighting (if it is too easy after that, I up the difficulty), but just for the accomplishment of reaching the pinnacle of your advancement.
