This puts a party of two PCs at a huge disadvantage when fighting 5 monsters who can basically attack every PC twice for each attack the PCs get in turn. Even with +2 to defenses, PCs are still going to get hit a lot and will have to spend even more of their precious actions to heal themselves, especially if you keep their HP the same.My solution solves that issue by allowing the PCs actions to be twice as effective without doubling the number of actions you give them. I avoided doubling the number of actions because that would bog down combat even more and still doesn't address the fact that they would get hit more and take more damage just because they face more enemies. If you want to double actions, you might as well just have each player play two characters. That would be the easiest approach but it didn't seem like the OP liked that option.Also condition effects are much more devastating in the way they could cripple a party of two much more effectively than a party of four, hence the need for the +5 bonus to saves.</blockquote>
