I address this in a similar way by suggesting as a second option,
reducing the number of experience points awarded to heroes who kill.
I think this achieves the same affect as awarding more to those who
don't kill, both result in killer receiving less experience that
those who don't and so develop more slowly.

I thought that at only 2 points the rogues gallery gift was rather
cheap.
