Even if you say that in this game you don't "need" anything combat-wise, I would still like to have a well-rounded party to handle the checks in dialogues and in the environment. Again, I should be able to form such a party without having to factor in my main character.
You can do this. We already have a fighter, healer, rogue and two mages, one of whom can be the party face. Everything seems to be covered for a stereotypical party, the main character can be anything you want them to be. Pretty much every rpg I have played starts you out with options for a stereotypical party.
