Okay, I've found the offending hard coded starting EXP for the TOB side of the interface.

I also seem to have found where the TOB side start area is coded, however I screwed up something else in the process.. I should have a working EXE soon.. Hopefully I'll find someone that can write a program to patch it instead of having to redistribute the exe

BG2 as in BG2: Soa (ie. without ToB), or BG2 as in "not the other IE games"?

Either way, the starting XP for normal BG2 (without ToB) is hard-coded, but the offset is known, so we can edit the .exe file to change it.

The starting XP is probably hard-coded in the other IE games as well, but, iirc, they all start at 0, so... theres no point in changing it down, and it's probably easier to change it up via script or some such.
