Somewhere in gain_exp I think it is, if gain<0 just add something to do
if((get_exp(ch)) < exp_to_level(ch, level-1) * [ here you add something,
whether it's a % or something from a table or whatever ]) { do
delevelling code }

so, say.. if((get_exp(ch) < (exp_to_level(ch, get_level(ch)-1) * 0.90))
would delevel them if they're more than 10% below what they needed to
gain their current level.
