Almost all stats. There is no characteristic roll for SIZ, of course.
We wanted a quick characteristic check when no obvious resisting force presented itself. Making characteristics more important in regular play was an important goal. Like using an Agility roll (DEX x 5) when doing something like that "balance an egg on a spoon while walking" game.
For example, here's the text from the description of the Stamina roll (CON x 5):
Based upon CON, Stamina rolls measure endurance. Use a Stamina roll whenever physical or intestinal fortitude is in question. To list a few examples, a Stamina roll might determine whether or not your character can stay awake all night, or endure seasickness, ill-prepared food, or strong drink with no ill effects.
None of them seemed as "important" as determining the POT of an opposing force. For seasickness, do you do a resistance roll versus the POT of the sea's motion? It seemed easier to just call for a characteristic roll.

Pretty much.
