D&D 5E Unnecessary Skills That Should Be Added to 5e (+)

[Benjamin Olson]

Intelligence (Object Permanence): roll to remember objects, NPCs, and plot lines that are out of sight.

You kid, but Intelligence (Memory) to remember details from earlier in the campaign is probably the most common type of offbook ability check at most tables I play at.

Push Button (Str) - for pushing very big buttons
Push Button (Dex) - for pushing very small or very fast-moving buttons
Push Button (Con) - for avoiding illness when licking buttons found in public spaces
Push Button (Int) - for knowing which button to push
Push Button (Wis) - for knowing which button not to push
Push Button (Cha) - for irritating enemies, frenemies, and ex-lovers

This post is perfection.

Pack Up (Int) - for getting all your stuff into your backpack organized in a way that allows you to retrieve any item from in with just one action. If you have the Backpack tool proficiency, you can add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

I clearly don't have this skill in real life, but D&D is fantasy.

Pack Up (STR) - for jamming more things into a container than it is supposed to be able to handle.
Pack Up (DEX) - for being able to get things out of a container without wasting time avoiding having to remove the other things in the container first.
Pack Up (CON) - for dealing with backpacks/luggage all day long and not gaining levels of exhaustion.
Pack Up (WIS) - for knowing it is a bad idea to over pack containers, since they might rupture.
Pack Up (CHA) - for getting your friends to put your extra stuff in their backpacks so you don't have to carry them yourself.
