[QUOTE="ph0rk, post: 8911332, member: 16266"] Con checks for extended efforts are already in the rules, aren't they? I know 5e (or any form of DnD) is not a physics engine, but you don't really get more skilled at the endurance part of endurance athletics - you do them long enough your body adapts (changing your con score). So much so that you can actually hurt yourself when you switch to a new sport, because your body has the endurance to keep going even if your form is wrong/bad. The listed sorts of things that might take a con check are: Holding your Breath, Marching or engaging in physical labor without rest, go without sleep, survive without food or water. I don't think a skill really applies to these - skill is what you use so you don't [I]have[/I] to go without sleep or engage in labor all day without rest. (Well, and quaffing and entire stein of ale in one go - I can be convinced there's some skill there. Con (Performance) perhaps.) [/QUOTE]
