Is it just me, or do the XP values for some monsters seem kinda low? I mean, a blackball is 8,000... yes it is alot, but considering what they do and how hard it is to get rid of one, I just think it's kind of low... and demi-liches, I forget the exact xp, but I thought it was low considering the crap I went through to put it to final rest. Anyone have any thoughts?

I believe I've read that XP is reduced for the computer games due to the increased amount of combat.

I think the last thing the game needs is MORE XP though.

No, I mean the xp they give you in Pen and Paper is too low. Actually, they took the XP up alot for the games. A demilich is only 10000 in PnP, but alot more in the games. I like the game xp better, because it made me feel that it was worth killing the monster.

My very first PnP character (which I still use by the way) was born 6 years ago. (I'm 16) He is now level 26. I guess he's considered epic now, along with all the other characters in the party I play with. We're having trouble finding a challenging campaign, and we don't feel like spending all our hard-earned money on oficial campaign books.
