She has no offensive spells, and her only offensive ability is Staff at skill 11. So far she's survived six games sessions with little problem (other than collapsing after draining all her Fatigue to save an NPC).
I would guess that the other PCs are better at combat, while she does a lot of stuff that either isn't combat at all, or falls under the umbrella of 'combat support,' like detecting ambushes or confusing difficult enemies.
