World of Warcraft - Exceptions to the XP Rules
Monsters with a Challenge Rating that is more than less than the a hero’s level provides no experience. or example, if a party of 7th-level heroes slays a pider swarm (a CR 1 monster), they get no XP. enerally, heroes should not face monsters with CR more than 5 higher than their level, as these reatures are likely to be too deadly.
If the heroes overcome a monster or other hallenge with a CR 4, 5, or 6 higher than their verage level, they may deserve extra XP, especially f they use clever tactics. Feel free to award as much s double (or more!) a monster’s normal XP if a party f much lower-level heroes defeats it.
