    How do experience points get allotted after somone hits the cap? Are the total points now divided by 5 instead of 6?
    Does that maxed player just quit counting as far as the numbers go?

    because its a game i have no clue how the makers distro the point, but in my opinion making the points not count once a player hits the cap would be ALOT of trouble to go through. My guess would be if you still have a 6 person party, it will still count for all 6 characters

    I believe you still get the XP. You just can't use them because of the cap. If you remove the cap you will have the xp you earned.

    Your brain has reached a cellular max. You no longer can store information and your technique has reached a predetermined maximum.

    Until a friendly user like Alan-1 comes along and helps you fight the MCP.

    If you have done all (and I do mean all-at least for your alignment)the side quests, by chapter 6, you should have almost reached the cap, if not reached it. I reached it by chapter 6 at least.

    It was the others in my group that I'm worried about. Minsc just stopped at 17, Anomen is coming up on 21 and my monk is a god-like 21, but Aerie is 12/12 , Jaheira is 12/13, and Imoen is only a 15. It'd sure be nice to go on with stronger mage than that.

    I've been killing time before going back to the Elven City while waiting for this damned Jaheira romance/harper thingee to work out, and I'm running outta victims for experience.

    The only one lacking seems to be Imoen. Jaheira and Aerie wont get much further. Maybe you should have picked up Imoen earlier.

    If you going down to the sewers under the temple section, to where the screaming wall is, one the way to the lost temple is.

    If you click on the wall when the question mark comes up you normally get a wandering horror 9000 XP and two sword spiders don't know there xp every time you click, That should give you a boost.
