Lesser restoration didn't restore lost XP on Jan Jansen after having drained levels.

Jan had drained levels by Demon knights in the battle next to Demogorgon statue in Underdark. I immediately let Anomen to cast lesser restoration on Jan to regain lost levels. He regained lost levels, but no XP. He now needs more than 1 200 000 xp to next level.

I tried to simulate problem on other members. I let Minsc and Jaheira be drained and then I let Anomen to cast lesser restoration on them. Their levels and XP points were restored properly.

I repeated the fight again to repeat Jan situation, and after lesser restoration were restored only levels, but XP remains on 666 000. He should have 1783246 xp after restoration.

I have attached saves before the battle and after. Jaheira is multiclass and restoration works properly, so I assume it's not because of that.

Try adding the following file (once unzipped) to your override folder and then trying to get Jan hit. Let me know if you still get the issue.

@elminster nothing changed. Levels were restored, but XP points remained like them were drained.

@elminster I did some tests on this and I figured out why it is happening. In the attached save file it happens to both Jan and Minsc because their BD_JOINXP local variable does not exist. When they get level drained by a certain amount the game thinks they are joining for the first time and that their XP value is too low relative to Charname so the scripts kick in and SET their XP to a certain value. In the attached save, Jan needs to be drained by ~4 levels for his script to activate while Minsc needs to be drained by ~10 levels for his to activate. I have not been able to determine why these variables were not set like they should have been when these two joined... Might be something you want to look into further...

@Loidy To fix this issue for both Minsc and Jan enter the following code in your console WHILE YOUR CURSOR IS OVER THEM (you will need to do it once for each of them). The other members of your group already have this variable set.

C:SetGlobal("BD_JOINXP","LOCALS",1)

@Tresset that's awesome. It works now. Thank you. I have no idea why could happen something like that, I didn't use any mod or editor.

@Loidy Yeah, it is from a feature that version 2.0 added to the games. It looks like you discovered a small bug with it.
