Icewind Dale Hints
Infinite Experience Bug
1 of 7: In the largest tomb in the Vale of Shadow, you will eventually (on the first floor) open a very large door, and behind it you will find a creature called a Bone Dancer.
2 of 7: For once, this creature won't attack you on the spot, and you can talk to him.
3 of 7: You need to have a Druid, with moderately high Charisma (not a negative modifier) in order to do this trick.
4 of 7: Send the Druid up to talk to him, and get into the conversation string about him raising undead, and being a monster and such, and just when your only options are to insult him big time, drop the topic, or be diplomatic, be diplomatic, and you'll get a bunch of XP.
5 of 7: Now, you can follow that exact same conversation path again to gain the XP again.
6 of 7: You can do this as many times as you want, until you select the wrong dialogue option or get bored.
7 of 7: Also, if you try to avoid a battle with him by talking out of it, you'll get some extra XP for that too.
