I am not sure of what scaling factors are applied to this in D2C, but the numbers for a ladder LoD game would be:
Andariel
mlvl=12
single player Exp=1282
With a level 1 character the difference in level would adjust the experience by *5/256, so the character would get 1282*5/256=25 exp.
Mephisto
mlvl=26
single exp=10718
earned exp= 10718*5/256=209
Diablo
mlvl=40
single exp=44902
earned exp= 44902*5/256=876
Since you only need 500 exp for the level up it would be pretty hard to avoid this in LoD once you got to Diablo. While I am pretty sure that the mlvl of the boss monster is scaled down in D2C and the experience is also scaled down for all the monsters, I do not think that the amount of the scaling will be enough for a character to avoid going up in levels verses some of the act bosses. But you might be able to get to act 4 without leveling if you are careful.
Quote:This raises the question of whether the xp for a kill of Andy+Meph+Diablo in normal for a clvl 1 pushes them to clvl 2+. I don't know the answer to that off-hand (and calculating it is tedious, since I'd require in-game verification anyway).
