    So I just fought Smigmal and friends and used only the poison spell=con damage and got zero experience. I'm using the newest version of Temple+ and Co8 added content. I thought this glitch had been fixed. Or am I missing something?

    it isn't a deal breaker, just strange occurrence. Anyone else experience things like this or have answers?

    When a monster dies, the game checks a field that indicates who the last character that hit the monster was to figure out whether XP should be awarded. But, the game only (I think) automatically sets that field for HP damage, so killing via other effects has a tendency to not award it. It's been fixed for a bunch of stuff, but I guess not poison.

    I figured that was the case. I just reloaded and killed with other spells. Thanks for the quick explanation.
