Code:
mob
    verb/Punch(mob/M in oview(1))
        set category = "Combat"
        var/damage = src.Strength - M.Defense
        if(M.client)
            M.Health -= damage
            src <<"You attack [M] for [damage]!"
            M <<"You are being attacked by [src]!"
            src.Level_UP()
            M.death_check(src)
        else
            M.Health -= damage
            src <<"You attack [M] for [damage]!"
            M <<"You are being attacked by [src]!"
            var/random = rand(1,3)
            if(random == 1)
                src.Exp += 14

You might want to double check on the mob after the initial argument. If there are multiple targets in oview(1) the attacker can actually click the verb a few times and wait until later to confirm the target and start the attack. It'll look redundant, but it's safer. You can also shorten this considerably by only branching off when necessary.
mob
    verb/Punch(mob/M in oview(1))
        set category = "Combat"
        if(M in oview(1))
            var/damage = max(src.Strength - M.Defense, 0) // max() returns the highest number.
            M.Health -= damage
            src <<"You attack [M] for [damage]!"
            M <<"You are being attacked by [src]!"
            if(!M.client)
                src.Exp+=pick(14,3,1)
            src.Level_UP()
            M.death_check(src)

Dont do Strength - Defense. Do Strength / Defense. And make HP never go past 100. That way if you and your opponent have equal Strength and Defense, you will do 1% damage each hit. And if your opponent has 2x as much defense than your strength, they take half damage.
