Some of these are covered by others already.CONDeep Diving (base 5E books and one module have rules on pressure and cold already, though. In AD&D, this allowed one to move faster while swimming straight down and have improved holding breath).Drinking / Eating (excessive amounts in order to win hot dog eating contests?)Endurance (fits with running, but to perform continuous strenuous activity longer than others for when you get captured in Dark Sun and forced to work on the ziggurats)KnowledgeAppraisal (depends if you speed things up by giving PCs the true value of their gems and art goods and have vendors be totally honest with them by giving them the exact amount things are worth)Engineering (how mechanical things work)Laws / Bureaucracy (same as above)Linguistics (how languages work, perhaps able to glean a pattern in foreign runes/worlds to get something, to interpret dialects easily, to adopt a foreign place's accent)Local History (different from global history, ability to quickly gather who's who, who's doing who, and what's what in most towns).Nobility (might merge into heraldry)Additional INT skill:Reading lips (proficient only)</blockquote>
