I've dealt with the problem in a similar fashion to Stabey's and I strongly disagree with him that this is what should be done. It would be better to just presure Larian to remove the auto level feature or just get a mod which disables said feature.
My second sentence was agreeing that the best thing would be that the auto-allocating feature be removed. But unless something changes, the only real workaround is what I've suggested.
