Starting Experience for NPCs

This may be an odd thought. Are there any mods, or an easy way to have some NPCs join you with a (much) lower experience total?
I know that’s backwards from how this is usually asked. But there are two cases in particular that irk me a little. First is just Imoen. I see no RP/in game justification for her gaining a single experience point during the time she’s in Spellhold. I’d like for her to come exactly as we last saw her at the beginning. For me, this would be additional motivation to get to her quickly!
Secondly, since installing Skie: Cost of a Girl’s Soul (which I do love by the way!) I can’t justify her having much experience at all. She doesn’t ever join my team in BG1, she’s the Flaming Fist’s worst ever recruit in SoD; and then she comes to you in Athkatla at like 15th level! What the heck. I’ve been modifying her down to like 10k experience total.
And obviously, this isn’t a huge thing. I’ve been making modifications with EEKeeper as they seem fitting. I do use “Level 1 NPCs” which lets me adjust the experience before they level past 1st level, which is a partial fix. But I’ve been thinking of the goal of no ‘Keeper once the game is started. This is one of those things I can’t think of a way to accomplish.
