me and some friends started a multisession a few days ago, the characters we are playing are the following: Wizardslayer, Berserker, kensai.
we all dualed when we got to lvl 15 so we are now WS/thief, B/cleric, K/wizard, the problem being, how the hell do you get experience with, at the moment, lvl3-4 kiddos... I have done the bigger quests(firkraag, sphere, prison, etc) so what are your tips for some cheap exp?

I may add that we are playing with the ascension-mod and the improved item mod from weidu.org :D

cheers,
Pimpadillio

You could set the game to a higher difficulty setting. I don't know for sure anymore (BG2 is OLD!) but I believe that you recieve more experience for playing at a higher difficulty setting. ;)

No, you won't receive more experience that way. Don't even try.

Buy (or pickpocket) a ton of scrolls. Have your Kensai/Mage scribe them.

krunchyfrogg has the easiest way to get a few levels.

If you have ToB installed, you can go to Watcher's Keep and do a few levels there... for the most part, you can inch through even at lower levels and get more exp.

F-man - I had heard at the highest difficulty, although the exp per creature stays the same, some battles may crop up with more opponants per fight, so you indirectly get more exp... is that not the case?

regarding the tip about the keep, chromatic daemon with lvl 6 chars is probably a cakewalk...

Agreed - I can typically get through most of the first level right out of Jon's prison, then come back a day or two later to get down into level two, but typically about half of level 3 is left until everyone has at least +3 weapons (some of the nasties you meet and have to kill there are *tough* for immature parties).
