summoned fiends and exp

I want my character to be a demon summoner, but the last time I tried, I didn't get any exp from the pit fiend's kills. I'm assuming it's because it's not part of the party? But it's ridiculous...every other summon gives you exp, and successfully bringing in a demon to kill your enemies and surviving the process deserves an exp reward!

Are there any mods that fix this behavior? It really drives me crazy.

    Demon summons do not give XP reward, and friendly summons do not do so too (as well as some enemy summons that do not give XP, but that should be fixed).

    But I do not know if there are mods about this, just search with the search button at the bottom of the panel at the right of the page (it won't show in mobile devices).

    Killing summoned creatures, be they yours or enemies' won't give experience and shouldn't but If I understood stargazerb correctly the problem is that no experience is awarded when your summoned demon kills an enemy. If that is the case then it is most certainly a bug.

    The creatures Illasera summons a the start of ToB always give XP, as well as many others do in BG2.

    Darksheer has it right. I'm talking about pit fiends that I summon giving the party exp when the fiend kills an enemy. That is, for exp purposes acting like it's a member of the party, even though it wants to kill me.

    I didn't find anything searching, but as I think about it I do remember a long time ago installing a mod that would, when a demon-summoning spell was cast, start a negotiation with the demon that could succeed or fail. If successful, he would turn friendly for a while and could be somewhat controlled, but if unsuccessful he would attack.

    I can't remember if he would give the party exp for the monsters he killed though, and I can't figure out what that mod was.

    Only ENEMY normal (Non-demon) summons give XP, and not in BG1/EE.
    Pit Fiend, Glabrezu and others won't give XP.imageIllasera summons some animals, I kill them and they give XP.
