Jaheira or Druid Level XP Quirk (Bug) ??

I've searched and have not found this ever mentioned. Why is there such a huge XP gap between a Druid's 14th level at 1,500,000 XP and level 15 at 3,000,000? Druids normally go up a level each 150,000 xp at this level, but it seems like Jaheira misses about 10 levels by not going to level 15 and getting stuck on level 14 for 1,500,000 XP. That a long time to sit on level 14, it seems to me.
What's up with this? Anyone know?

I believe it hails back to the fact that in 2nd Edtion AD&D when they first allowed Druid's to progress beyond 14th level they made the requirements /stringent/.
They also gave the 'Hierophant' Druid's (those of 15th or higher level) special powers including immunity to aging and disease, and the ability to enter and survive on the elemental planes.
Anyway...if I recall correctly the Hierophant's needed /grotesque/ ammounts of XP to advance.

IIRC, the gap is only in BG2, not in PnP. It is because druids get powerful new abilities after level 14, and in SoA, druids would be overpowered.
