I am planning to recruit Imoen, Jaheira-Khalid, Ajantis and Kivan in Early Game with my PC as a Fighter/Mage.
My RPG story involves dismissing Xsar-Montaron after the Tarnesh encounter. Taking Xsar to 2nd floor for 'a little talk' while leaving Montaron near Jaheira-Khalid. Thus when Montaron mouths off subsequently I plan to Charm Khalid and Fight Montaron then probably have it out with Xsar also.
I am fairly sure that this will incur no Rep loss. [Neutral Good Alignment].

My question is whether this will garner XP enough to make Ajantis or Kivan Level 3 when recruited. Which I want to avoid.

Note: Planning to do Unshey's Ogre quest after recruiting Jaheira-Khalid but before Ajantis.

Is there a Standard Rule about early XP gain for Charname-Imoen that is more precise than 'Minimal'

Thanks in advance for all comments. Respects.

You could save hairpulling by just assigning adjantis and kivan the HP they would have gotten if you had picked them up early. Just a thought. There must be a BG1 version of shadowkeeper.
