I like this idea, also reminds me of "I fought, we won" battle. I like the idea that in a land of heros, some things can only be done by a team.

Could you give some player and adventure examples. While I could see a character filing this role in a story or novel. I'd admitt I would find this hard to roleplay. (But then I'm a guy <grin>)
Off hand, situations where intuition is the solution remind me of puzzles, the danger is the players may not get it or you abstract it to dice. Could you give an more complete exanple of a character, could they srill have good game skills? The problem with specialists is siting on the sidelines while the general purpose players are busy all the time.
