It's 500 xp per character, I believe. It's odd in that adventure as the treasure is secondary for the most part. But at least the treasure is almost always interesting.B10 certainly has many events that could easily translate into giving XP for completing a 'quest' or chapter or whatever you wish to call it. But for some reason they never included it in the module. For me, I just used the 5e monster XP and it worked well enough. Though I reduced awards 20% and the six PCs dinged level 5 (though not all at the same time) just before the final fight.But awarding quest XP is different than milestone leveling as that removes XP from the equation entirely. I just looked through Curse of Strahd and the adventure admits there isn't enough XP from creatures to advance quickly enough. No XP awards are listed for anything other than defeating creatures and most of those awards are assumed by default to be awarded as listed in the MM. In Curse of Strahd, the default and only way to earn XP is defeating creatures. The adventure suggests leveling up at milestones but, like I said, that's not the same as awarding XP. The adventure never provides any suggestions on how much XP should be awarded for social or exploration encounters.</blockquote>
