So I started to notice something weird. Kills give little to no xp in this game. Case in point:
I was fighting the spiders under the abandoned village and noticed I got like 13 xp per kill. Giant spiders (and these are phase spiders at that, which are tougher) should reward triple digits worth of xp.
I ran a DND campaign where I had a lvl5 party fight roughly this amount of spiders and they almost got to lvl 6 from that session. It gave them more then half the xp needed for the lvl.
I noticed it at other places to but this example was the most jarring to me. I finished the spider matriarch fight but was honestly appalled by the reward. Both in XP as in loot.
Is there a reason why xp is given out in such a restrictive manner?
