>4 constitution

persona 1 did this shit to an extent. the amount of xp you got was based on the damage the character dealt. so what ends up happening is the slowest character in the party that ends up attacking last gets underleveled as fuck because when grinding the enemies are dead before its even his turn

What the FUCK were they thinking?

>party members not currently in the active party get no XP and are stuck at the level they are

I don't have an image to express my rage at this.

>"new party member is now level 20!"
