No skills apply to Con checks but marching is a Con check? As someone who knows how to march, I can assure you that it IS a skill or at least a proficiency. Easily fixed by re-introducing Endurance or a "Soldiering" proficiency or something, I guess.
Initiative is a Dex check, interesting. That could have some implications down the line.
Schwalb will be happy, as will fans of mobile phone hidden object games! There's a sidebar specifically instructing DMs to play "Say search the right way!" game with their players IN ORDER TO EVEN GET TO ROLL! I guess my players will have to bring their "NO SERIOUSLY WE SEARCH EVERYTHING" mantra out of retirement (it's so much more detailed than that, and I know it covers drawers in some way).
That seems like the worst of both worlds - no only do you get the failure chance of rolling, but you also have to try and work out exactly what the DM wants you to say to search. GUMSHOE, it ain't.
