The dependance on player level would still be there.  But there is no
need to include the monster's level in the formula.  Just give high
level monsters much experience.  The monster's level is already used
for many things like the level at which the monster casts spells, or
how good it is protected against death attacks.

The experience awards are way off because of the levels, but reducing
the level breaks other things.

That's true, but trap_disarm() already uses its own formula for
calculating the experience.  Making the experience for killing a
monster independent of monster's level doesn't affect this.
