I'm trying to say something like "how much EXP do you get for defeating that
monster?" Is there a particle I should be using here?

My attempt is this:

そのモンスターを倒したらどれくらいの経験値が貰えるの？

But at least to my native-English-speaking brain, this feels more like "how
much EXP do you get IF you defeat that monster?" whereas I'm looking more for
something that takes the monster-defeating as a given. But perhaps I'm just
thinking too much from an English perspective here, so I'd appreciate any
clarification. :)

question
particles conditionals
Expressing "for/in exchange for"
Your translation attempt looks already perfect to me, but if you want to
translate even more literally, you can say:

> そのモンスターを **倒すことで** どれくらいの経験値が貰えるの？

こと after a verb is a _nominalizer_ , which turns verbs into nouns, like `-ing`
in English. で is the particle which corresponds to `by` or `for` in this case.

Optionally you can also say:

> そのモンスターを
> **倒すこと[によって](http://jisho.org/word/%E3%81%AB%E5%9B%A0%E3%81%A3%E3%81%A6)**どれくらいの経験値が貰えるの？

...but this may be a bit too stiff in a sentence like this.

"How much EXP do you get for defeating that monster?"

  1. そのモンスター撃退で得られる経験値は？ 
```     そのモンスター撃退によって得られる経験値は？  
    
    そのモンスター撃退により ........
    
```

My favorite:

  2. そのモンスターを撃退して得られる経験値は？ 

( [1.で] and [2.て] are both Te-forms ) . . . [1.で] is a Te-form, the same as
the example (6) below.

See: [What is the role of
あるいて?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/38564/what-is-the-role-
of-%e3%81%82%e3%82%8b%e3%81%84%e3%81%a6/38582#38582)

```

    (5) a.  公園でポピーに会って, ヒューはとても喜んだ｡ 
        b.  [Bumping into] Poppy in the park, [Hugh] was very pleased.
              Having bumped into ... , 
    
    (6) a.  今日は土曜日で, ヒューは学校がある｡ 
        b.  Today being Saturday, [Hugh] has school.
    
    (7) a.  正直に言って, クーは太りすぎだ｡ 
        b.  Honestly speaking, Koo is overweight.

P.S. --- I think Mr. Chocolate is correct in pointing out that the DE in [
そのモンスター撃退で得られる経験値は？ ] is not a Te-form.

I think the following examples use the Te-form. (Ok, maybe not the last two.)
So the distinction is pretty tricky.

  * そのモンスター撃退で経験値は何点来る？ 

  * そのモンスター撃退で 経験値は何点 得られるの？ 

  * そのモンスター撃沈で どれだけ経験値が得られる？ 

  * そのモンスター撃沈で何点の経験値をゲット？ 

  * そのモンスター撃沈で増える経験値は？ ---- ( or 貰える ) 

  * そのモンスター撃退で来る経験値は何点？
