Alternately, I might call for an Intelligence check (with probably a DC 10 or so) if the character was taking specific actions that might warrant using that ability instead. These checks are contingent upon 1) there actually being something happening while the character is on watch, and 2) that happening not being revealed by other mechanics (such as an enemy blowing a roll trying to sneak up on the party).The Face character could make a Personality check (again, probably at a DC of 10 or so) to keep the villain occupied/distracted, though I'd be open to a different kind of ability check or even a different apprach (such as a spell) depending on what exactly the character was doing. I don't like using dice to determine social interaction if I can avoid it, but generally if there's a chance of failure at any task I'll ask for a check of some kind unless success (or for that matter failure) is just too entertaining based on what the character was actually attempting.The Heavy would be fine. No need for a check there.The character searching for the Thing would make an Intelligence check or a Luck check, depending on which gave them better odds, unless the character was a Thief or Halfling, in which case they have pother abilities that might come into play. For that matter, a spoellcaster doing the searching could use their magic if they had something applicable.In a low-level scenario I'd use side initiative, but if its a level 2 or higher situation I'd have a separate initiative roll for each character. Unless there was something causing a potential problem, the Heavy wouldn't need to do much of anything until the fight started, at which point they'd probably take center stage. I have characters get separated from each other on occasion, and it's never been an issue beyond making my job as a Judge more challenging.DCC RAW doesn't do opposed checks, so a Thief (for example) makes a roll against a static DC to successfully sneak, climb a wall, pick a lock, whatever.</blockquote>
