So you made a bad quoting example?

So how exactly are 2 extra skill points per lvl and extra stats like HP (I believe around 80%) supposed to replace an extra team member which can inflict damage, heal, distract, use spells and so on? It's not like you get a 2x damage multiplier. And since your party is 1 member short you have less tactical options... or is all of that not a factor to you?

If it was 100% HP, 2 extra character points at start that I could add to intelligence or strength or something else and 2 skill points per level then I could live with that.

I don't see much that could justify the loss of an additional character.
