How much physical prowess and technique must be sacrificed to justify magical powers? I ask because I want a martial artist specialist with a secondary emphasis on Divination based abilities (I.e. finding things with magic), though not with meta-gaming in mind. I just don't want to make an op character but I want to give him powers and abilities that would make sense for his personality.

Very little, surprisingly. Again, I would like to go with the Dark Souls analogy (because everyone who doesn't play video games needs to suffer). Things such as sorceries, especially the powerful ones, require a whole lotta intelligence to use. This, someone would need to be focused on magic for that. Miracles are the same thing. For better miracles, you need a lot of investment in faith. But, Pyromancy comes from the heart (rather, it comes from your hand being on fire), and as a result, requires very little intelligence or faith. Magic is how you make it. If you get the ability to divine from meditation, that's just your magic.

Now this is actually the type of RP I wished to play. Though I wonder who will we be travelling with. The other players of course, but aside from that, who else? Because I would like to play a rather brainy character, who is pretty much incapable of magic use, only wide array of knowledge and stuff. So in order to utilize the knowledge, I intend to have a few who is willing to do him things.

It will vary. Occasionally, there would be a rank-B to teach characters the ropes of adventuring, occasionally you would be hired as mercenaries alongside other (NPC) adventurers. Just remember - Crossbows require very little investment in the grand scheme of things. There was a character in a manga I read a while back (unsurprisingly, about adventuring guilds) who used raw intelligence to kill monsters. Like using rat poison on giant rats. Who knew that would work so well. Of course, with great intelligence comes knowledge of items and how monsters work...

[@Conscripts] I'll be playing an all brawn not as much brain type of character if you want a meat shield.

Name him Hunk.

In other news, I wrote up a bunch of background information and that's all edited in, so you can go nuts and read through my half-asleep ramblings.
