Even then, skill is more significant than most magic. You can get by with being resistant to magic and really, really good at hitting things and not being hit. Fate actually makes a big effort not to make combat seem more significant than other parts of the game, and I think it succeeds at that. Even in a fight, there's more than one way to be useful, but the dedicated combat specialist has obvious ways to make their character good in that area in the secure knowledge that they aren't going to be overshadowed at fighting by someone who's supposed not to be a s strong at it.</blockquote>
