Title: A watches B, C (attacks|pickpockets|plants) A, C gets a bonus

If I was carefully paying attention to Mansa. I might miss the fact that Krath was going to backstab me.

Instead of a stun drain - maybe watch should come with a penalty to saving throws if the person you are NOT watching does something to you.

This would be cool.

If this is not already IG this would kick ass.

Does Listen override Watch?

No, but Watch does override Scan.

I think this would harm watch in that people won't want to use it.  Perhaps.  That's my opinion.

Watch was a little too good, in my opinion–I know I always had watch up on whichever PC in the room looked shadiest, no matter what, whenever I was playing a PC who couldn't scan. This nerf is reasonable, I think.

I thought that there were already saving throw penalties and bonuses associated with watch, when it was first implemented. It was mentioned that it might be useful to work in teams, one person distracts, the other person steals/backstabs, or whatever. Someone could probably find the old thread.
