added a (hopefully not too long) clarification on why you get more/less XP in Neverwinter Nights

Added line(s) 64 (click to see context) :

** It's actually both a bit easier and more complicated than that. As a rule of thumb, you really do get less XP per kill the larger your party is; NPC henchmen, summoned mage familiars and/or animal companions, and other summon creatures all reduce the amount of XP your character gains by a small amount. However, enemies don't just simply spawn when you enter an area. Instead there are so-called "encounter triggers" placed throughout an area that spawn the enemies when the PC runs into such a trigger, and not necessarily next to the trigger - they can spawn somewhere completely different in that area. Now the thing with these triggers is that they determine the number and strength/level of the enemies that are about to spawn by taking into consideration the whole party at the moment the trigger was activated. So if you are running around solo, enter a trigger and then summon you creatures afterwards, you do get less XP than you had if you would not have summoned them. Of course this also works the other way around; enter an area, summon as many creatures as you can, command them to stay put, turn yourself invisible or use stealth, activate as many encounter triggers as possible without fighting any enemies, unsummon/dismiss all your creatures, and you'll get considerably more XP because you're now fighting more and/or tougher opponents all by yourself.
