I hadn't thought of that.  Two players with drain attacks and potions
of restoration could drain each other to gain experience.  There are
three solutions to this that I can think of:

1) Don't implement drain recovery.

2) Make drain from undead recoverable, but not drain from other
   players.

3) Don't give the attacking player any of the experience drained from
   another player.


Personally, I prefer the third option.
