Now, if you figure it is fair that "bob lags behind" why then catch him back up?Third, yes and a good party will do what it can to carry its weaker members, or they might just try and pick up stronger members instead (tho for social reasons that likely wont be the case.) But while being carries by the group, bob's character is doing less and bob is being less "impactful" with his character which, IMX, tends to equate to being less enjoyable for many. Now, dont get me wrong, i love playing the "weaker guy" who has to outperform to keep up and be as "impactful" (or even more) myself, but most don't and many would not want to be forced into that role, IMX.</blockquote>
