I tend to hamper or put my characters into difficult situations. There are a couple acceptions to this but, for the most part their strongest area is tempered by their personality or fighting style. I'll give two recent examples of mine own make: One guy is average in physical combat....his only abilities involve physical combat for anything ranged he relies on normal tools and he is piss poor when it comes to strategies he's more of the charge in head first kind of person. The only redeeming qualities are his charisma and his high ability to use elemental based attacks. The other is a naturally skilled fighter and is the type of strategic person that could make it as a future commander (if he makes it that far) but he is a light weight, he lacks charisma to unite people, and even though he is usually calm and collected, if he DOES break down he is more or less useless.
