The exp is modified according to your character and parties. (Challenge Rating)
The challenge rating is calculated from your partys level vs. the enemy groups level (or something, I'm by far a DnD expert :D ).

But in NwN there is also the differentiation that you noticed between classes.
I noticed this mostly with rogues vs. a fighter type, where rogues seems to get even more XP (2 to 3 times the amount in chapter one) then figther types, but also fightertypes getting less then magic types.

But I don't know if the "DnD rules" state anything of differentiating between classes, so I think that is a NwN "feature" because thoese classes are harder (in the beginning) then the fighter types.

The experience differation is most definately a NWN feature. I think wizards and sorcerers get more experience because they can have a larger party as a single person i.e. a henchman, familiar and a summouned creature, so the game gives higher experience to compensate for this. Just as an example with my fighter/rogue I gained an extra 1000 experience in the Prelude by running through it then returning to kill everything. With my wizard I got to level 4!
Don't think you know all the answers.
