Create a new rule, “Teaming Up”:

Two Survivors who are Watching each other and have the same Status are a Team.
For the purposes of all dynastic rules but this one that care about the Fitness or Stamina of a Survivor in a Team (a “Team Member”), the Fitnesses of both Team Members in a Team are each equal to the higher Fitness in the team plus 15, and the Staminas of both Team Members are each equal to the higher Stamina in the team plus 3. However, if either Member of a Team takes Damage (due to a rule other than this one), so does the other; if either member of a Team gains or loses Contribution (due to a rule other than this one), so does the other; and if either Member of a team loses Stamina or Fitness (due to a rule other than this one), so does the other (this does not apply to gains).
