Therefore, you'd never have to re-roll as a mage, because there would be a mage in your party ready to make up for any magical shortcomings you may have as a fighter.

Battles were either a mage/warriors combo with tactics, or a jousting match.

A few other games to look into, for the curious: HeroQuest, Mage: the Ascension, Nobilis, and Sorcerer.
