Ahh, I see we're descending into the solo v party debate. How about we leave that one out of this thread? We know S-E has an interest in creating content for BOTH soloers and partiers. Grasp that first on your own time, then move on to the merit of the idea mentioned please.

Xatsh, I don't see why a penalty is needed, just don't give the party bonus. A duo of PC get the bonus, add the NPC option on leves, just don't add the bonus for the second member.
