4. Several new minor enemies, some of which are: a. THREE ogres in the Orc Cave instead of just one! b. Additions of mercenary Warrior and Presio's Apprentice in
Dragon's Eye. c. Four high-level Kraken Society Mages who appear after you meet with Marketh.  (no matter how you deal with Marketh) d. Two Priest-Mages of Vhaeraun accompany Maiden Ilmadia. e. After you deal with his simulacrum, you will face not only
Malavon, but also his assistant, a high level wizard named Ilair. f. Belhifet is accompanied by two Cornugon demons who jump through the Stone of Jerrod portal at the end of the game.  This is in addition to the creatures he already had with him from before.

Experience Charts: Icewind Dale and Heart of Winter
==============================================================================


                     -----------------------------------
|    Contents of this Section:    |
                     -----------------------------------
|  The following section of this  |
|  document is LONG.  What you    |
|  will find in this section is:  |
|                                 |
|   1. Explanation of experience  |
|      awards and difficulty      |
|      levels.                    |
|   2. List of experience points  |
|      for the main game in both  |
|      "Normal" and "Heart of     |
|      Fury" difficulty modes.    |
|   3. List of experience points  |
|      for expansion pack in      |
|      "Normal" and "Heart of     |
|      Fury" difficulty modes.    |
                     -----------------------------------


In Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter, there are two types of experience: Quest
Experience, and Fighting Experience.  For purposes of understanding this section, I have defined "Fighting Experience" as the experience points you receive immediately upon killing a monster.  "Quest Experience" Is almost always obtained by talking to someone after doing what they asked you to do.
Sometimes, completing a quest involves killing a monster.  Remember that the
"Fighting Experience" is received upon killing the creature, while the "Quest
Experience" is not.

There is a new feature in Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter.  It is a new difficulty mode called "Heart of Fury".  While placing another difficulty mode in the game may not seem all that special, it is quite interesting for a few reasons.

1. The monsters give you SEVERAL times the normal amount of experience.
2. The monsters are all MUCH more difficult to kill.
3. The quests give you more experience.
4. It is quite possible to build your characters up to Level 30 quickly.

When playing Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter in the "Heart of Fury" difficulty mode, (accessible through the configuration options.  You can not change to and from "Heart of Fury" mode while in the game!) you will gain significantly more experience than normal.  Remember that this holds true for the Heart of Fury expansion pack quests (in and around Lonelywood) as well as the main game itself.

All experience gained in all quests is DOUBLED when playing in "Heart of
Fury" mode.  It is possible to gain over 1,000,000 experience points from a single quest!!!  I will not provide a list of experience points received from quests.  Just go back through the walkthrough and double all of the amounts.

Now for the monsters.  You will receive much more experience from killing enemies while playing in the "Heart of Fury".  In the charts below, I have listed every enemy character in Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter.  The first chart contains enemies from the main game.  The second list contains enemies from the Heart of Winter Expansion Pack.  These charts include both the enemies from the main game as well as from the expansion pack.  To the right of each name are two columns.  The first one is the experience point amount for killing the creature in "Normal" difficulty mode. The second column is how many experience points each enemy yields in the "Heart of Fury" difficulty mode.  The enemies are listed in alphabetical order, and each major region has its own separate chart.  Note that any unique enemies appear at the end of each list in their own section, and are not listed alphabetically along with the other monsters..

NOTE:  There are some enemies on this list that are added to the main game when the Heart of Winter expansion pack is installed (for example, Presio's Apprentice).  You must have the expansion pack installed in order to encounter EVERY enemy on this list.
