Bolstering

Bolstering is a mechanic designed to let family members adventure together without having to worry about how much time each person has invested in the game. When family members group up, every family member in the group has their stamina stat rise to that of the highest member in the party. In addition to this, family members' attributes will be boosted so that everyone has the same number of attribute point. However, this does not mean that if one member has high strength for example, everyone will gain this. Family members will only gain these temporary boosts while in the party proportionally. If you were to have high investments in intelligence and will and a family member had high investments in strength and agility and more total attribute points than you, you would gain boosts to intelligence and will in proportion to your family member's distribution of stats. Note that bolstering will occur over all stats, not just the top 2 or 3.
