OK, here's the scenario.
A critter (based off the Puppeteer monster) has taken control of an individual. Said individual is a gnomish Cleric 7 / Psion 2. The party manages to incapacitate the individual, and in the process learns of her parasite which is contolling her. They destroy said parasite, without causing any real damage to the individual.
So, do they get XP based on:
CR 9 (for the cleric)
CR 9 + CR1 (for the cleric and the parasite (which would earn them naught)
CR 10 (as the parasite was able to also mentally attack)
CR1 (just for the parasite)?
Personally, I am leaning towards CR 10... but can't decide based on RAW.
