Question: D&D 3.5e Monster Manual

[Zero]

Since the Inquiries forum looked like it was for questions about the board, I figured this would be the next likliest place to post this:

On the D&D monster manuals, where is the XP gained from each creature? Or is there some sort of bizzare arcane formula you use to devise the ammount of XP gained? Any help would be appreciated.

Each monster has a Challenge Rating; cross reference that number with the characters' level on chart 2-6 (page 38) in the Dungeon Master Guide. Be sure to read the entire chapter on Rewarding Experience though.

Also, bear in mind that creatures with extra items or class levels will have to be adjusted accordingly.

There's also a variant in Unearthed Arcana where each monster gives a set amount of XP.
