Yes, right click on the animal companion and there should be a 'Unsummon' icon there somewhere. It might be under 'Action'.

Snow Globe. Switch it so that the dwarves are the bad guys, then send your warrior type (even if just a summon) to stand next to the portal where they spawn. Just keep hacking away; they are immortal, so every time you kill one (and get xp) the next one spawns out of the portal. Best bet is to get one of the items that give high damage reduction versus normal weapons and the ring of (lesser) power for the regeneration. For dramatic effect, I run around them so that my back is to the cliff edge right behind the portal. I can hear Sharwyn's tale already ("he stood on the edge of the cliff, facing the unending onslaught of evil..."). If you get both of the items above, then when you face them only the boss dwarf will damage you on anything but a critical, and the regeneration will handle the rest. I literally left the game alone while I watched TV, then every time I heard the sound of the "level up" I went back and leveled up real quick.

That's really nice, but where is this area, Snow Globe?

I restarted with my monk to get some lost exp points, now I'm playing chapter 2, and my monk is lvl 12. I'm killing all people tha I can, including chiken.

I play with no companions to more exp points and I guess I'm doing ok until now. Could I reach lvl 20?? With any class? Using summonnigs or mercenaries?

You can level just fine without killing sprees. In fact, the xp system checks how more/less powerful you are than the opponent, and adjusts the xp accordingly. Thus, the more levels you gain without moving on in the game, the less xp you get (since the monsters generally get harder the further you get in the game).

Best way to get xp: do quests. Quests give you fixed amount of xp. Thus, don't kill people, just talk to all of them. Of course, if you are playing evil, you can do their quest(s) then kill them.

Snow Globe is in Chapter 3. Don't worry about missing it; you have to do the quest to finish the game.

I dont kill everyone, I just kill who does not turn my alingment towards evil. Like the werewolves in chapter 2. I cure them then I kill them, same thing with Wanev. But now that I remade my char it seens to have more exp than the first time. Hope to lvl up more times playing like this. It would be frustrating if I can not reach level 20.

Anyway its my first time doing the NWN campaign, and I am really loving it. I already bought the SoU exp, hope that its good like the default. But my PC runs the game only with low resolution, I guess my vuideo card sux.

If you don't mind replaying a certain part of the game you could of course do the following as well;

Replay the last chapter, and kill off the catapults.. they're worth 120 XP each (and there are at least four of them.. easy XP if you ask me!)
