Hello,

I'm new to playing and just can't wrap my head around encounter and monster XP. I have H1, Keep on the Shadowfell, and the first encounter says (475 XP). All the monsters grant XP, and it adds up to this amount.

So I'm assuming you don't get 475 XP from defeating all the monsters, and then 475 XP for completing the encounter. Is this assumption correct?

It's simply showing you that the total XP value of the creatures and features of the encounter is 475 so that you don't need to add it up yourself.

Also the character that kills the monster does not get the xp it is evenly split between the whole party at the end of the encounter
