Math and Experience

[rickyh]

Help me to figure out the math formula for awarding experience points

How much experience would I award for four goblins with 1 HD (d6) with 3 hp each? How did you come up with that? I tried following the example at the front but it was to complicated.

Per the example at the front:

Somehow you multiply the number of HP of monster by the hit die and divide by 2. It shows the HD in the example to be 5 HD d10, so does that mean 25 x 5 hit die for 125? Does that mean 25 x 10 (10 being the max hp on a d10 die?) then divide by 2. Somehow the answers ends up having a total of 280,

You take the base value then add the value per HP they have, so I believe your creatures are 8 XP each. 5+1+1+1 (3HP)=8 XP

Oh, well that makes it much easier, I thought you had to divide, multiply by this and that, etc...
