        City of Heroes has a very interesting solution to this problem. One
        character of at least 10th level can take on another character as a
        'sidekick'. The sidekick is able to perform at a level only
        slightly less than his mentor as long as they remain within a
        certain range of each other. This enables the low level character
        to be useful in combat and contribute to the success of the team.
        It does have the problem that although the lower level player's
        skills are enhanced they still have the same amount of health so the
        first time one of the high level enemies connects with an attack the
        sidekick is most likely dead.
