If someone needs to figure out North, then that's obviously a Survival check. I've never seen anyone decide to create a cypher without having just read the rules for it and realizing that they could (once, in third edition), but I can imagine someone thinking to do so, and I can't think of any reason to deny them the possibility if they really wanted to.The big ones are things like Inspiring Leader and Mounted Combat, which anyone who could do would probably do quite frequently. If anyone can make an inspiring speech to grant temporary HP, then it's a fair bet that someone is going to whenever it would matter, so every orc you ever fight is going to have +7 temporary HP. Apparently, that's just the way the world works. Likewise with attacking mounts, which is just a pointless exercise in futility, so all attacks against a mount are automatically aimed at the rider.Or more likely, as the DM, I'm going to say that nobody can inspire anyone mechanically (unless they're a bard); and intercepting a hit against another creature requires you to ready that action ahead of time (so it will almost never happen). It doesn't generally benefit the game to give everyone more options, because it's still a level playing-field, but now it's more complicated. The only time I've ever handed out feat abilities to everyone was in saying that anyone can draw two weapons as a single object interaction, because it seemed obvious without looking at any of the feat rules.</blockquote>
