Pet/Allies killing monsters does not yield experience.

As the title says: Pet/Allies killing monsters does not yield experience. Not sure if this is known.

Tested it with animancy and the ice elemental.

Also, killing every enemy NPC in the last floor did not complete the game. The kills were done via spamming a bunch of ice elementals.

As far as I remember, zero experience from allies' kills is the fundamental point of Thomas Biskup – the one who scores the killing hit, gets the exp. The old ADOM had the same mechanics. That’s why in the old ADOM I only used pets and summons as the last hope in tough situations, when surviving becomes more important than levelups.

Don’t know is it good or bad – for example TOME had another mechanics, and it was cool to play the summoner – everyone is fighting around you, and you just cast buffs, summon the new troops and get levelups.

The problem you had mentioned in the comment reminds me of #425 – looks like the one who scores the last hit on Boss, completes the game. Congratulations to one of your ice elementals
