Title : jihad standing bonus for NPCs

Fingolfin and I liked Papasmurf's idea so we worked out the
equation and put it in. Here's the deal now. Firstly, recall
that you normally get 1 jihad NPC point for each NPC that you
kill from an opposing faction and -3 for killing from your own
faction.

The new equation gives bonus for killing mobs of higher level than
yourself - it's NO DIFFERENT for killing same or less level mobs.
So - the math basically takes the level difference between you
and the mob you kill and (if it's positive - meaning you killed
a bigger mob) divides that by 2. It then adds that to what the
mob's faction level is set to. For 99.9% of the mud, this is
just a '1' but some areas (like Kyldiss) have this set higher.
Anyway, it's capped at 5 so you can't get more than 5 NPC bonus
for a kill.
Note this also goes in the other direction - if you kill your
own faction mob the same math is applied 3 times over and
capped at -15!

It's not much, but for those that attack higher level monsters
this might help you gain XP a little faster. You god(s) after-all
are really pleased by your heroism and bravery. Er, 'your' gods.
