Same way as with the objects. In the zone file, for each guard loaded, first remove
him. This is what your zonefile should look like (or something..)
R 0 4081 4013 -1  (remove the mob(regardless of success of prev command))
M 0 4013 50 4081  (load the mob (regardless of success of prev command))
E 1 4041 50 4 (equip the mob (dependant on success))
E.... (as many as you want)
This way, the mob will only apear once, even if 50 of him is allowed.

the hitpoints ARE dependant on the CON of the char. In do_start(), they are initially
set to 10, before a call to advance_level() adds (amongst other things)
con_app[GET_CON(ch)].hitp, which is very much con based. The mana points
 however, are a completely different matter...
