In the case of my player characters I count them all equally. If they show up near the end of a combat they still normally expend resources to help the fight.  And the guy that doesn't attack 1/3 of the time is still a resource being used by the party in combat.  It is up to them to use their resources to the fullest.  Would you penalize a cleric who holds back and heals only when nessessary because the fighter just doesn't seem to get hit? He didn't take any swings in the combat and most rounds just seem to stand next to the fighter waiting for something.</blockquote>
