One possibility is to completely junk the old system, and redo
the exp awards for mobs. For example, if you decided that a character
should haveto solo on average 10 mobs his same level to advance, then
make the mob exp be one tenth the difference between the exp needed for a
char to reach the mob's level, and to reach the next level. You could
then use the same formula to automatically calculate the mob's exp worth,
with some exp modifiers to account for sepecial abilities or
circumstances. I haven't done this myself, so I can't offer a tested
formula for you to use.
Good luck,
