Question Followers (charmed) & Exp distribution

It seems that if you have followers (charmed mob) assisting you, if they get the last hit, it robs the exp and you get none. You can order them to join your group, but this may be tedious at times. Also, you could theoretically write a script to get them to group join char, but if the player hasn't started a group prior, of course this won't work.

Any ideas on an easier way to achieve this , so a class that is dependent on their summons IE: Animate Dead , may still get exp if the charmed creature gets a last hit. Even better if the charmed npc doesn't receive any exp at all.

You could always just make it so the ch->master (if applicable) gets the experience. Although, from a personal standpoint, I feel it should be necessary to group with your NPC followers. If you were to use the above step to rectify your problem, you might find yourself with balancing issues as someone with Animate Dead would be able to topple much higher level NPCs AND thus gain much more experience faster then someone without.

Would there be a way with the new group code, to make it so the follower automatically joins the group of the master? Also if the master doesn't have a current group then it forces them to create one. At which point the follower then joins.

Something like this in the mag_summons() code should do the trick.
