    Little tiny spoiler...


    You know when you go in the dungeon of the windspear hills with the archers behind the walls and the doors are locked? Well I went in and messed up the fight a little (They were targeting my mage and I didn't want to waste spells on them cuz they ain't tough monsters) so I went back out to regroup. The dumb archers followed me out and I just smacked 'em all with melee weapons...

    I have a problem whenever monsters follow me out of a room, as they do so, and I slay them, but when I go back in, they are still there.

    It is a bug that should be corrected by official Bioware patch.

    Do you get double experience? That could be a good thing :)

    Yes, doubles your loots as well. You can keep doing that for infinite wealth, though it only happens in ToB I think :D

    Silly me; I had just assumed that they chased after me (although two had remained behind). At least that seemed reasonable. And it was much easier dealing with them outside that trapping area room (they kept targeting my least armoured party members).

    Another nice way to do this area is to send in one character, naked except for the Shield of Reflection you can buy from Ribald. The orcs will gun themselves down.

    Too bad, you must gather your party before venturing forth :shake:

    you need an invisibility 10 radius :)

    I noticed that with the Tanner Quest in the bridge district. I'd tell the LT. that I solved the murders and he'd give me my reward. Then he'd come back and start the dialogue warning me to be careful about the murders. So I clicked on him again and got the reward again.... Nice but wierd.

    I've also noticed with the first batch of orcs in the dungeon, the wizard always sends off a lightning bolt. Just keep clocks of reflection on the front characters, it bounces off and kills off the rest of the orcs. Nice if smelly. Fried Orcs. Ick!

    Oh...if you think that's strange, check this out.

    In the tanner quest itself, when talking to Rejiek Hidesman, you surround him with your characters so he cant move, and then keep talking to him...unlimited XP!

    Yes. There are a number of places you can surround the npc for multiple experience points. Such as in the mage stronghold with the planar guys and the quest in trademeet with the girl who gets her skin taken away (although I havent managed to do it with the latter yet).

    There`s no need for unlimited XP. If you do all available quest for your party you should end SoA and ToB at the maximum reacheable level. I finished ToB with all six members being hardcoded at a maximum level of 40, over and over again. And I do so playing with often discarded NPC such as Minsc, Keldorn Anomen, Aerie or Nalia. Playing all the way throught the game is the best source of XP :D

    Yep, but that takes time. Most people use the exploits because they cant be bothered waiting around. That does rob the game of its fun though.

    It's much easier to do quests when the party has low experience, though. In TOB, when everybody is level 25+, it's hard to bring yourself to do some side quests like "The Betrayal at the Gates"
