In this case, I might require each PC make an Endurance check each 'round' (hour, day, whatever). Those who succeed can then take other actions potentially working towards the successful resolution of the challenge; those who fail are entirely engaged in just keeping up with the others. (That said, in a challenge like that, I'd not do "X successes before Y failures"; I'd do "X successes needed" with each 'round' having some associated cost.)Suppose instead that the party had to put on a dramatic production to impress the local lord (odd one, I know; just go with it!). In that case I'd go with the simple rule: everyone rolls, if 50% pass then it's a success; otherwise it's a failure.For a "weakest link" check (like Stealth), I might well have only the PC with the highest skill roll. But... if any character has a negative modifier on the skill, I would apply that negative as a penalty to the roll. (Not 100% certain about this... might be better to have the weakest character roll, with the others being able to "aid another"...)For a "strongest link" check (like Perception), I'd just have the PC with the highest skill roll.(But bear in mind that in a 'surprise' scenario, it is possible for part of the group to be surprised and others not. So in this case, they'd all roll, and each take their own result.)</blockquote>
